Educational Q&A

The verse highlights disciplined conversation: setting aside distracting past matters (pūrvavṛttavyapetāni) and remaining mentally collected (samāhitau). Ethically, it models how dharma-inquiry proceeds best through focus, restraint, and a forward-looking mind.

Two speakers continue their discussion in a calm, attentive state, deliberately leaving earlier events aside. As they speak, dawn arrives—the Sun rises with its rays—signaling a transition in time and the continuation of the instruction under a new day.
