Educational Q&A
Do not surrender to viṣāda (despondency). Even amid calamity, one should preserve steadiness of mind so that dharma-guided action and sound counsel remain possible.
During the events of Śalya Parva, Bhīma addresses Kṛṣṇa with honorific epithets and urges him not to fall into despair, reinforcing morale and resolve in the ongoing crisis of the war.
