Educational Q&A
Authentic understanding and truthful narration arise from purified, higher insight—here symbolized as the 'eye of knowledge' lit by a 'lamp of divine intellect'—bestowed through the spiritual potency of a realized sage (Vyāsa).
Vaiśampāyana explains that the listener/narrator has been granted extraordinary perception by Vyāsa’s power, enabling him to 'see' and relate the events of the war and its dharmic significance beyond ordinary human capacity.
