Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights dharmic decorum: sages are honored first with arghya and proper seating, and only then do Kṛṣṇa and the kings take their seats—showing that spiritual authority and respectful hospitality guide public conduct.

What is happening in the narrative?

In an assembly setting, the sages receive the arghya and sit on their assigned seats; afterward Śrī Kṛṣṇa and the other kings sit down according to established protocol.
