Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma highlights a mark of well-being and orderly governance: timely seasons that yield ripe harvests and adequate water, with a balanced climate. Such natural balance is presented as conducive to the people’s prosperity and stability.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on principles connected with rājadharma and public welfare. Here he describes a favorable time/season characterized by mature crops, plentiful water, and moderate temperature.
