Educational Q&A

The verse models disciplined inquiry: a righteous king listens carefully, notices imbalance or incompleteness in a report, and respectfully asks a sage for fuller detail—showing that governance and dharma rely on attentive hearing (śravaṇa) and precise understanding.

After hearing about Indra’s splendid court, Yudhiṣṭhira observes that the sage’s description focused mainly on the gods and only briefly mentioned Gandharvas and great seers; he therefore requests a more complete account of the other eminent beings present in that assembly.
