वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic responsibility of a community to uphold rightful governance: honouring and reinstating a legitimate king strengthens the Kṣatriya order and preserves social stability, showing that political authority should be grounded in collective duty and propriety rather than usurpation.
Vaiśampāyana reports that the clan/kinsmen collectively honoured the rightful ruler and re-established Ugrasena (identified with the Āhuka line) as king, an act described as promoting the prosperity and standing of the Bhoja Kṣatriyas.
