Educational Q&A
A ruler grounded in dharma must combine restraint with preparedness: ethical leadership includes timely, disciplined readiness to protect others when circumstances demand swift action.
Yudhiṣṭhira issues an urgent order to mount the ever-ready chariots, emphasizing immediate mobilization under capable charioteers like Indrasena, with weapons already prepared.
