Educational Q&A

The verse highlights disciplined, orderly conduct: the hero completes his stay respectfully and departs at the proper time (sunrise), suggesting restraint, mindfulness of time, and propriety even in unusual settings.

After spending the night in the Nāga-king’s abode, the valiant figure rises at sunrise and emerges from the Kaurava’s residence, indicating the transition from a night’s lodging to onward movement in the story.
