Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Maintain inner strength when events turn unfavorable; actively reject viṣāda (despondency) and glāni (weariness), since they weaken resolve and dharmic action.

What is happening in the narrative?

Bhīmasena addresses someone on his side with exhortation: even amid adverse reversals, one should not let one’s vigor fade, but cut off dejection and fatigue and stand firm in purpose.
