Educational Q&A
Even after victory and upheaval, dharma is upheld through humility, proper honor, and collective responsibility: leaders and allies approach the righteous king in an orderly, respectful manner, placing the highest-worthy figures at the forefront.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the Vṛṣṇi heroes—Sātyaki, Pradyumna, Gada, Niśaṭha, Sāmba, and Kṛtavarman—come to Yudhiṣṭhira, with Kṛṣṇa and Baladeva leading them, indicating a formal visit of support and counsel in the Ashvamedha context.
