Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights the importance of receiving wise counsel (especially from Kṛṣṇa/Keśava) to strengthen resolve and act according to dharma even under the intense ethical pressure of battle.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya narrates that the valiant Pāṇḍava (contextually Arjuna) has been addressed by Keśava; it serves as a transition indicating that Kṛṣṇa has spoken and the Pāṇḍava is now poised to act or reply.
