Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Dharma is portrayed as a living, divine principle that guides and then withdraws; once instruction or assurance is given, one must internalize it and rest in steadiness—symbolized by the Pāṇḍavas’ calm sleep.

What is happening in the narrative?

After speaking, the personified Dharma vanishes, marking the close of an encounter or message; the Pāṇḍavas, now together and mentally composed, settle into a peaceful sleep.
