Translation

Vaiśampāyana nói: Cũng như thế, những bậc anh kiệt trong hàng Kṣatriya lần lượt theo tiễn các vua Kṣatriya khác. Các Brāhmaṇa cũng được tôn kính tối thượng và rời khỏi nơi ấy đến hàng nghìn người. Khi các vua và các Brāhmaṇa đã đi rồi, đấng oai hùng Śrī Kṛṣṇa liền cất lời với Yudhiṣṭhira.

Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

The verse underscores dharmic court-culture: worthy guests—especially learned Brāhmaṇas and ruling Kṣatriyas—are to be honoured properly, and social interactions proceed through recognized protocols of respect and orderly departure.

What is happening in the narrative?

After being duly honoured, the assembled Kṣatriya kings and thousands of Brāhmaṇas leave. With the assembly dispersed, Śrī Kṛṣṇa turns to speak privately to Yudhiṣṭhira, marking a transition from public ceremony to counsel.
