Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Dharma is shown as fidelity to a settled agreement (samaya) and disciplined conduct; when the Pāṇḍavas accept and uphold the rule properly, the sage is satisfied—ethical order is affirmed through keeping one’s word.

What is happening in the narrative?

After the Pāṇḍavas formally accept the stipulated condition/time, Nārada, pleased with their righteous compliance, departs to his chosen destination, marking the close of his immediate involvement in the episode.
