Educational Q&A

Deceit and adharma, even when repeatedly attempted by the powerful, ultimately become fruitless; ethical failure undermines one’s aims, while steadfast endurance in hardship protects the righteous.

Vaiśampāyana concludes a report to King Janamejaya, stating that the Kauravas (sons of Dhṛtarāṣṭra) tried various deceptions against the forest-exiled Pāṇḍavas, but those schemes did not succeed.
