Educational Q&A
Even the counsel of revered sages cannot help one who is inwardly resolved on adharma; moral failure here is shown as stubborn attachment to conflict despite repeated warnings.
Dhṛtarāṣṭra tells Sañjaya that Duryodhana remains continually set on fighting, despite attempts by Paraśurāma and Vyāsa to restrain him—highlighting Duryodhana’s unyielding war-mindedness.
