Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Moral scrutiny is hollow without self-accountability: one who questions dharma in others must face one’s own past violations—especially cruelty in speech and the humiliation of the vulnerable.

What is happening in the narrative?

Sañjaya rebukes Karṇa by recalling his earlier harsh words to Draupadī, contrasting Karṇa’s present posture of judgment with his prior lapse of dharma during her humiliation.
