Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Power and victory are validated by their dhārmic use: the strong should protect and restore the freedom of those unjustly harmed, not merely display dominance.

What is happening in the narrative?

After overcoming opposition, Kṛṣṇa remains unharmed, mounts a splendid chariot, and leaves Girivraja accompanied by the kings who have been freed from imprisonment.
