Educational Q&A

The verse highlights communal recognition of rightful lineage and dharmic order: when those seen as legitimate and virtuous heirs appear, society’s ‘śiṣṭa’ (cultured) segment responds with approval, suggesting that public ethics and social stability are tied to perceived righteousness in leadership.

Sages bring and formally introduce the Pāṇḍavas; upon seeing them, the Kauravas and the citizens of the city—especially the respectable and orderly sections—become delighted and raise a loud, celebratory outcry.
