Educational Q&A
The verse teaches inner discipline: do not let past injuries become a permanent ‘sin’ in the heart as resentment. Yudhiṣṭhira embodies dharma by choosing respectful service and self-control over bitterness, even toward those connected with great harm.
After the war, Yudhiṣṭhira continues to serve the blind elder-king Dhṛtarāṣṭra. Although Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons committed many wrongs against him and his family, Yudhiṣṭhira does not keep that grievance in his heart and remains engaged in Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s care.
