Educational Q&A
A ruler’s excellence is recognized by two visible traits: initiating rightful duties without delay and completing them well. Effective kingship requires both resolve to begin and perseverance to finish.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on rājadharma, Bhīṣma is describing the observable marks of an exemplary king, emphasizing practical governance—undertaking necessary works and bringing them to successful completion.
