Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharma as something to be approached through authoritative instruction (āgama) and careful understanding that dispels doubt; ethical clarity arises from listening, reflection, and certainty about right conduct.
Janamejaya, speaking to the narrator, introduces Yudhiṣṭhira as his eminent ancestor and frames him as one who has heard a comprehensive teaching on dharma and thereby resolved all uncertainties—setting up what Yudhiṣṭhira did or asked next.
