Educational Q&A
Legitimate action is marked by proper honour and formal permission: a king should move forward with the sanction of elders/teachers and with social recognition, not by coercion. The verse highlights decorum (maryādā) and the ethical weight of an authorized departure.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that King Yayāti, having been honoured by Śukra and the Daityas and having obtained the preceptor’s leave, sets out happily for his own capital—signaling the close of his stay among the Daityas and a return to royal duties.
