Educational Q&A
A ruler must renounce impure hostility and show reverence to Brahmins; harming or maligning them is presented as adharma that destabilizes the realm, bringing political and social unrest.
Arjuna admonishes Kartavīrya to give up a corrupt intention and to bow to the Brahmins, warning that wrongdoing toward them will lead to disturbance and upheaval in his kingdom.
