Educational Q&A
Power used without shame or restraint becomes adharma: ignoring wise counsel and violating a woman’s dignity in a public court is portrayed as a grave moral transgression that accelerates social collapse and future violence.
After the dice-game crisis, Duryodhana orders the attendant Prātikāmin to bring Draupadī into the sabhā. The verse highlights Duryodhana’s shameless intent and frames the summons as an ethically charged escalation.
