Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic etiquette of approaching power with humility: joining the palms (kṛtāñjali) signals respect, self-restraint, and a readiness to speak truthfully without arrogance.
Nārada narrates that after being addressed, a woman responds to a powerful figure. She first adopts a posture of reverence (hands joined) and then begins her speech, while the narrator also addresses the king listening to the account.
