Educational Q&A
The verse highlights steadfastness and dutiful action: once entrusted with a task, one proceeds without delay. It also reflects Damayantī’s determined pursuit of what is right and true, supported by reliable assistance.
After Damayantī speaks (giving instructions or a message), Keśinī—described as the long-haired woman—departs to carry out what she has been told, marking a transition to the next action in the episode.
