Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The passage highlights how dharmic counsel gains weight when affirmed by those committed to truth and austerity. The sages’ approval functions as a moral endorsement: right action in a crisis should be guided by disciplined wisdom, not mere power or anger.

What is happening in the narrative?

After Kṛṣṇa speaks, a gathering of renowned sages—led by Nārada—expresses joy and praises him. The text then enumerates many sages present. Finally, Paraśurāma (Jāmadagnya) approaches Kṛṣṇa, embraces him, and begins to speak.
