Educational Q&A
Even a king should accept restraint and correction from wise, disinterested counselors; repeated self-praise or insistence must yield to dharma-guided advice.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that learned and fearless Brāhmaṇas repeatedly stop the king when he keeps praising something again and again, indicating a moment of counsel and ethical checking.
