ततो युधिष्छिरो राजा धर्मपुत्रो महामना: । संनिवर्त्यानुजान् सर्वानिति होवाच भारत

Educational Q&A
Ethical leadership is shown through restraint and discernment: Yudhiṣṭhira, as Dharmaputra, checks the impulses of his brothers and speaks after establishing control, modeling governance rooted in dharma rather than anger or haste.
At the opening of the Virāṭa Parva, Yudhiṣṭhira intervenes to restrain all his younger brothers and then begins to address them, setting the stage for a considered plan and disciplined conduct during the events that follow.
