Educational Q&A

Dharma is upheld through yathāvat-pūjā—proper honoring of worthy guests, especially Brahmins; such respectful conduct generates trust and maintains social harmony.

Bhishma addresses a king, inviting him to come to his home after being duly honored; then the two characters respectfully honor a Brahmin and proceed homeward in mutual confidence.
