Educational Q&A

The verse frames ethical discourse: before instruction and requests are made, the parties sit in order and listen. It highlights the dharmic method—counsel delivered with composure, in a proper setting, by a qualified sage.

After the Pāṇḍavas take their seats, Vyāsa begins to speak. This introduces the forthcoming inquiry and guidance that Vyāsa will offer to the royal figures in the Āśramavāsika context.
