भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Honor should be conferred through dharmic procedure and wise authorization: Sahadeva’s reverence is not merely personal devotion but a public, rule-governed act endorsed by Bhīṣma, aligning ritual propriety with moral legitimacy.
In the royal assembly context (Rājasūya setting), after receiving Bhīṣma’s approval, Sahadeva formally approaches Kṛṣṇa and offers him the highest arghya, marking Kṛṣṇa as the foremost recipient of honor in the gathering.
