युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Even when provoked by harsh speech in a political setting, one should restrain anger through humility and reverence; remembering one’s ethical bonds (such as respect toward an elder or benefactor) can dissolve wrath and prevent unrighteous retaliation.
Yudhiṣṭhira recalls an episode in the assembly where a charioteer, speaking in Duryodhana’s interest, uttered bitter words. Though Yudhiṣṭhira’s anger rose, it would calm when he looked at the speaker’s feet—signaling deference and the deliberate choice of restraint over confrontation.
