Educational Q&A
A dharmic leader acts on accurate knowledge: one should seek trustworthy testimony (here, from resident ascetics) and report facts without distortion to the rightful authority, enabling just and restrained action.
Sahadeva learns from the local ascetic sages that certain people have fled; he then goes back to Yudhiṣṭhira and narrates the full incident, moving the story forward through a formal report.
