Educational Q&A

A righteous ruler restores stability by respecting the populace (granting them leave to return home) and by appointing a competent deputy/heir to safeguard administration—balancing compassion toward subjects with firmness in governance.

After addressing the gathered citizens and provincial people, Yudhiṣṭhira dismisses them and then formally installs Bhīma as yuvarāja (crown prince), signaling the re-establishment of orderly rule and delegation of royal responsibility.
