Educational Q&A
Instruction on dharma should be given openly and responsibly: the speaker is urged to explain the queried topic in a way that benefits the hearer and his brothers, motivated by goodwill (sneha) and aimed at true welfare (priyārtha), especially before rulers who can apply it in governance.
Yudhiṣṭhira requests an elder/teacher to speak on the subject that has been asked, doing so in his presence and before the assembled kings, with affectionate concern for what will be beneficial and dear to him and his brothers.
