Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Even amid impending conflict, dharma expresses itself through restraint and proper conduct: welcoming guests, honoring allies, and observing etiquette (svāgata, yathāvat pratipūjā) are ethical duties that sustain trust and social order.

What is happening in the narrative?

Kṛṣṇa wakes and sees Arjuna standing before him; he then formally welcomes and honors the two visitors, marking a courteous reception at the outset of crucial negotiations in the Udyoga Parva.
