Educational Q&A
After giving counsel, the wise remain inwardly steady; Kṛṣṇa’s calm sleep symbolizes self-control and clarity, implying that right guidance should be followed by equanimity rather than agitation, even when larger conflict looms.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, described as the foremost of the Vṛṣṇis and a joy to the Yadus, finishes speaking (to Vidura in the surrounding context) and then lies down on a comfortable couch and falls asleep, marking a pause or closure to the exchange.
