Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma emphasizes that a ruler should use authority to uphold dignity and social propriety—here, by ordering an honorable gift to Draupadī—reflecting dharma through restitution and respectful conduct.
Bhīṣma addresses the king and instructs that, on the king’s command, many fine golden ornaments should be given to Draupadī, indicating a formal act of honoring or compensating her within the courtly setting.
