Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical posture of a learner: even after attaining clarity and being grounded in the highest dharma, one continues to inquire respectfully for deeper understanding, recognizing the teacher’s authority and the subtlety of dharma.
In the instruction-filled setting of Śānti Parva, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses his teacher with humility, stating that his mind has become established in elevated dharma, yet he wishes to ask further questions and requests a fuller explanation.
