Having heard the teachings spoken by the sages, the Pāṇḍava was filled with wonder. Then Kṛṣṇa—foremost among the wise—once again addressed him with words, guiding his understanding toward dharma.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the proper reception of dharma-teaching: the listener (the Pāṇḍava) responds with reverent wonder after hearing the sages, and then Kṛṣṇa, as a supreme guide, continues the instruction—implying that ethical understanding deepens through sustained dialogue with the wise.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that after the Pāṇḍava hears what the sages have taught, he is amazed; immediately afterward, Kṛṣṇa resumes speaking, continuing the counsel and clarification that follows the sages’ statements.
