The verse highlights ethical self-restraint: when approaching a place of tapas and dharma, even a king should set aside symbols of power and approach with humility, guided by wise counsel (ministers) and sacred authority (purohita).
The king, together with his ministers and priest, removes the visible emblems of royalty and goes into an excellent hermitage, indicating a deliberate shift from royal posture to respectful, ordinary conduct suitable for an āśrama.
