Educational Q&A
When confronted with a grave consequence such as a curse, one should not act impulsively; one should consult wise and dharma-oriented companions and deliberate thoroughly to choose a righteous response.
Śeṣa gathers and consults with his brothers and dharma-devoted kinsmen—starting with Airāvata—discussing the situation created by the curse and considering what should be done next.
