Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical duty of a messenger or witness to convey information faithfully—reporting both the king’s welfare and the exact words spoken, without distortion.
Sañjaya narrates that he informed a group (tebhyaḥ) that the king was unharmed and then relayed, in full, the message Duryodhana had communicated to him.
