Educational Q&A

By listing forthcoming episodes, the text highlights how dharma is examined through concrete events—especially violations like abduction and the moral reckoning that follows—showing that adharma triggers conflict while righteous effort aims at restoration of order.

The speaker is cataloguing specific parvas/upākhyānas to be narrated next: the Vrīhidroṇika tale, the Indradyumna account, the Draupadī-abduction section, and within that arc the episode concerning Jayadratha’s release.
