Educational Q&A
Even in conflict, action should be preceded by thoughtful deliberation about the proper means (upāya). The verse foregrounds the ethical weight of choosing a method, not merely desiring an outcome.
Śalya addresses Yudhiṣṭhira and reports that someone began considering the specific strategy for killing a particular opponent—signaling a move from general hostility to concrete planning.
