Educational Q&A
Proper conduct (ācāra) sustains dharma: one should approach others with humility, clearly state one’s identity and lineage when appropriate, and accept a host’s guidance respectfully—symbolized by sitting only when offered a seat.
Bhīṣma narrates a courteous encounter: he introduces himself by name, gotra, and father, and then, after the other person indicates a seat, he sits down slowly and respectfully.
