Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical kingship grounded in humility: even a righteous ruler may tremble under the weight of duty and consequence, and the proper response is reverent attentiveness to wise counsel rather than pride or impulsiveness.
After speaking previously, Dhṛtarāṣṭra turns to address Yudhiṣṭhira directly. Yudhiṣṭhira is visibly shaken and sits with folded hands, indicating respect and emotional gravity as the elder king continues his counsel.
