Educational Q&A
The verse highlights how delusion (moha) clouds discernment (buddhi), leading rulers to seek guidance or support without clear judgment—an ethical warning about decision-making in crisis and war.
Sañjaya continues his report to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, noting that other kings as well—confused in their judgment—will approach him (Sañjaya) for counsel or assistance amid the unfolding conflict.
