Educational Q&A

Desire is to be mastered through dhṛti (steadfast resolve). Even a powerful king should relinquish indulgence when it conflicts with higher duty, and choose a disciplined life that supports ethical order and inner freedom.

Nārada recounts that King Yayāti abandons his desires, places his son Pūru securely in charge of the kingdom, and then leaves for the forest—signaling a transition from royal enjoyment to renunciant discipline.
