Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights dharmic procedure: significant developments should be truthfully and fully reported to the rightful authority (Yudhiṣṭhira), and relationships or alliances should be formed transparently through proper introduction rather than private dealings.

What is happening in the narrative?

Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna first brief Yudhiṣṭhira on the relevant events, and then they present Maya (Mayāsura) to him—formally bringing the newcomer into the king’s presence.
