Educational Q&A
Dhṛtarāṣṭra acknowledges that sound counsel should be evaluated by two standards: its benefit in this life (lokya) and its merit for the next (svargya), and that true guidance aligns with both dharma (righteous order) and nyāya (justice/reasoned propriety).
After a prior exchange (introduced by “having spoken thus”), Dhṛtarāṣṭra addresses Kṛṣṇa directly, affirming that Kṛṣṇa’s advice is wholesome, righteous, and just—setting a moral frame for the deliberations that precede the Kurukṣetra war.
