Here the deceased father addresses his son with a testament through the sage. It is telling that the good of ancestors is bound to the righteous deed of their descendant: by fulfilling his duty, the son elevates his forebears too. Thus the scripture shows the bond of generations within dharma — the good done by the living reaches even the departed. Thus is Pandu's testament conveyed; and next comes the sage's warning.
