Educational Q&A
The speaker emphasizes attentive listening and complete disclosure: ethical instruction should be received with focus, and the teacher should present the matter fully and truthfully, without withholding essential parts—especially when explaining responsibility or obligation.
Virūpa addresses a king respectfully and prepares to explain a particular issue—described as the ‘burden/obligation’ connected with someone ‘vikṛta’ (afflicted or disordered). He asks the king to listen carefully and promises a full account.
