Educational Q&A
Legitimate counsel to rulers should be grounded in true knowledge; here, the claim of divya-cakṣus (divine sight) frames the speaker’s authority and underscores that a king’s decisions must consider long-term consequences, including the future character and conduct of heirs.
Śrī Kṛṣṇa addresses a king, stating that he already knows the relevant history through divine vision and then transitions to a prediction/description of what the king’s son will be like in the future.
