Educational Q&A
The verse foregrounds inner composure as a prerequisite for right counsel and righteous action: clarity of the knowing faculties (jñānāni) and serenity (prasanna) are treated as signs of well-being and readiness for dharmic deliberation.
In the Shānti Parva’s reflective setting, the speaker inquires after Acyuta’s condition—whether his night has been restful and whether his senses and mind are calm—before proceeding with further conversation and instruction.
