The conversation, captured in the form of question-and-answer format (called <em>Samvada)<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><strong>[1]</strong></a></em> by the sage Veda Vyasa, marks an important twist to the Pandavas’ exile in the forests. While the <em>samvada</em> itself has little to do with the rivalry between the cousins, Pandavas, and Kauravas, or with the tale of Mahabharatham, the plots and sub-plots were introduced by the sage to provide a clear message- the message of dharma, and the importance of adhering to the same. In Sanskrit, The word <em>Dharma</em> is derived from the verb <em>dhru</em>, meaning, “to support” or “to sustain”. Thus, <em>dharma</em>means “supporting or upholding the world and its beings” (Pranjal Chaturvedi, 2022). The <em>samvada </em>is didactic and deliberately introduced to underscore the importance of dharma or duties, which remain timeless and ageless, relevant to date.</p> Dr. Padmavathi Koride 8 1
