Educational Q&A
Right action begins with resolute commitment: even the decision to set out in service of a righteous aim is portrayed as powerfully effective, especially when undertaken for Dharmarāja’s dharmic purpose.
Nakula encourages a heroic addressee, assuring him that simply by departing on the intended mission he will certainly fulfill the objective sought by Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira).
