Educational Q&A

Seize the ethical opportunity for peace: when a powerful mediator (Kṛṣṇa) is still receptive and relations are workable, one should promptly pursue reconciliation rather than let pride and delay harden conflict into war.

Sañjaya urges the addressed Kuru leader to conclude a treaty with Arjuna immediately, stressing that the window for settlement is limited—so long as Kṛṣṇa remains favorably disposed and able to influence events toward peace.
