Educational Q&A
Even when righteous anger arises, dharma requires restraint and timely, measured speech—especially in public decision-making spaces where words can avert or ignite catastrophe.
In the Kuru court, Kṛṣṇa—still visibly angered but composed—turns to address Duryodhana, setting up a sharp admonition within the larger diplomatic effort preceding the war.
