Educational Q&A
A dharmic person should actively seek correction: if one deviates into false conduct, the virtuous should be welcomed as guides who admonish and restore one to the right path.
Bhishma voices a request framed as a boon: he asks that, should he ever go astray while relying on the addressed noble person, the righteous community (santaḥ) may instruct and correct him.
