Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic etiquette: before major actions such as departure, one should seek the consent and blessings of elders—especially those burdened by sorrow—showing restraint, respect, and compassion.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that, prior to setting out, the departing party takes formal leave of the grief-stricken King Dhṛtarāṣṭra, along with Gāndhārī and Kuntī (Pṛthā).
