Even amid looming conflict, dharma expresses itself through self-control, respectful speech, and addressing people according to propriety (age, rank, and role). Kṛṣṇa’s smile and measured conversation model ethical diplomacy rather than agitation or insult.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, maintaining a calm and courteous demeanor, speaks with King Dhṛtarāṣṭra and the senior elders Bhīṣma and Droṇa, and then engages other kings in a manner suited to their status—setting the tone for formal counsel in the Kuru court during the Udyoga Parva.
