Educational Q&A
The verse signals a dharmic examination: even the most capable hero (Arjuna) must answer with clarity and restraint when confronted by a moral-intellectual challenge, emphasizing that prowess is secondary to right understanding and disciplined speech.
After the Yakṣa speaks, Arjuna—identified by his epithets Pārtha, Savyasācī, and Dhanañjaya—is introduced as the one now being addressed and poised to respond, continuing the Yakṣa’s interrogation sequence central to the episode’s ethical testing.
