The verse highlights disciplined conduct: even a powerful agent like Krishna acts within maryādā (proper bounds), showing that ethical restraint and respect for social order are integral to dharma.
Bhishma narrates that Krishna remained in the royal household, spending the rest of the day and the entire night there, indicating a deliberate, orderly pause in events rather than impulsive action.
