Educational Q&A
Before undertaking a grave act in war, Arjuna first secures Dharmaraja’s satisfaction/assent, suggesting that personal valor should be harmonized with rightful authority and dharma; resolve is ethically framed through counsel and legitimate approval.
Sanjaya reports that Arjuna, encouraged inwardly after pleasing Yudhishthira, turns to Krishna and speaks, readying himself for the decisive confrontation aimed at Karna’s death.
