Educational Q&A
A ruler should approach wisdom with humility: reverence (prāñjali) and personal effort to learn from the virtuous are presented as marks of dharmic kingship.
When the sage turns back, King Āvikṣita notices and follows him from behind with folded hands, intending to receive instruction from Saṁvarta.
