Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes careful, respectful identification of a revered person—recognizing both lineage (gotra) and personal name—reflecting the dharmic importance of social identity, proper address, and precision when dealing with Brahmins and sages.
Bhīṣma issues a direct instruction to someone to go to a Brahmin settlement and fetch a particular person, specifying that the person to be brought is Agastya, to be identified unambiguously by both his gotra and his name.
