Educational Q&A
Honouring the worthy through appropriate, orderly generosity is part of dharma and royal conduct; gifts are not merely wealth-transfer but recognition of virtue and status.
The narrator reports that Kṛṣṇa presents the Pāṇḍavas with formal gifts of honour—women attendants, jewels, and garments—distributed individually and in abundance.
