युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic inquiry: a ruler seeks complete understanding of the imperishable Lord (Kṛṣṇa as Īśvara), implying that ethical governance and personal conduct should be grounded in knowledge of the divine source of dharma.
In the Śānti Parva dialogue, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīṣma (Pitāmaha) and requests a full account of Kṛṣṇa’s supreme nature and greatness, setting up a theological exposition within the post-war instruction on peace and righteousness.
