Educational Q&A
Dharma is upheld through ongoing dialogue and discernment: Yudhiṣṭhira is praised as the foremost bearer of dharma, while Kṛṣṇa is depicted as illuminating clarity—suggesting that righteous governance depends on enlightened counsel and moral insight.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Kṛṣṇa, after speaking with Yudhiṣṭhira, departs swiftly in his chariot. His movement is poetically compared to the Sun spreading light in all directions, emphasizing his commanding, guiding presence.
