pratiṣidhyātha tān sarvān bhagavāṁl lokapūjitaḥ | prajñācakṣuṣam āsīnam uvāca abhyetya satvaram ||

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical restraint and timely counsel: a revered authority figure checks collective impulse and turns to reasoned guidance, implying that dharma is upheld not by reaction but by wise intervention and measured speech.
The narrator says that the world-honored sage restrains everyone present and then quickly approaches the seated Dhṛtarāṣṭra—described as ‘seeing with wisdom’—to speak to him, marking a transition to admonition or instruction.
