Educational Q&A
A king’s dharma includes timely action and emotional steadiness: he must respond quickly to danger or distress, seek counsel, and strengthen those under his care—beginning with his own household—so that fear does not erode right conduct.
Somaka urgently rises with his ministers, enters the private inner quarters of the palace, and consoles his son, restoring his confidence at a tense moment.
