Here the king praises the valiant speech but does not resolve to act himself. It is telling that Dhritarashtra approves of Karna yet does not proceed to action: a weak ruler wavers among counsels. Here we see an indecision born of double-mindedness: lacking firm dharma, he vacillates. Thus the scripture reveals the king's instability; and, distrusting himself, he summons the elders.
