Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Victory does not cancel duty: the Pāṇḍavas continue to honor and attend the elder Dhṛtarāṣṭra, modeling restraint, humility, and the maintenance of social-ethical order after conflict.

What is happening in the narrative?

Vaiśampāyana describes who is present and attending: Bhīma and another Pāṇḍava (identified as Mādrī’s son) sit in service to Dhṛtarāṣṭra, with Yuyutsu also there, emphasizing a courtly setting of attendance and reconciliation.
