Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharma in action: swift pursuit of wrongdoing is balanced with immediate protection and care for the harmed person. Yudhiṣṭhira’s return with Draupadī and the priest underscores responsibility, safety, and orderly conduct even amid outrage.

After being instructed, two leading heroes depart to chase Jayadratha (the Sindhu prince). Meanwhile, King Yudhiṣṭhira turns back, taking Draupadī with him along with the family priest Dhaumya, and heads toward the hermitage.
