Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even in tense political circumstances, dharma is upheld through proper hospitality, honor to a guest/ambassador, and formal leave-taking; ethical procedure restrains hostility and preserves dignity.

What is happening in the narrative?

After being respectfully received and honored by King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, Kṛṣṇa takes the king’s permission and exits the palace, marking the close of a formal audience in the lead-up to major events.
