Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Right action is affirmed through proper procedure: even a rightful return to rule is undertaken with humility, service, and the elder’s consent, showing that dharma is upheld not only by goals but by respectful means.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vaiśampāyana reports that Yudhiṣṭhira, now composed and accompanied by Kṛṣṇa, is seated in attendance and should be granted leave to depart for the city—signaling a transition from instruction and mourning toward resuming royal responsibilities.
