Educational Q&A

Even amid war, dharmic conduct includes honoring guests and speaking with respect; the verse models courteous reception and prompt, clear communication of one’s purpose.

Sañjaya reports a scene where two valorous men arrive; they are welcomed, asked to rise and rest from fatigue, and then requested to state quickly what they seek.
