वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse frames good governance and social health as inseparable from dharma: public welfare, faithful observance of moral-ritual duties, respect for learned guidance, and the honoring of ancestors, deities, and guests are presented as key indicators of a righteous polity.
In the Udyoga Parva’s diplomatic and preparatory context before war, the speaker reports a formal inquiry into the state of the realm—asking whether society is secure, dharma is being practiced, social groups remain disciplined under proper counsel, and customary worship and hospitality are being maintained.
