Educational Q&A
A ruler must seek wise attention and counsel when a grave public decision is imminent; the verse highlights the ethical weight of state action and the need to consult elders like Bhīṣma before proceeding.
In the Kuru court setting of the Udyoga Parva, King Dhṛtarāṣṭra calls upon Bhīṣma (Gāṅgeya) to focus on him, indicating that a major undertaking—closely tied to the coming conflict—has arisen and requires immediate attention.
