The verse teaches that treacherously harming enemies who are helpless (asleep, unarmed, unsuspecting) violates dharma and leads to severe karmic consequence, symbolized as sinking into a vast, boatless ocean of hell.
Kṛpa warns his lord that the Pañcālas are likely sleeping at night after removing armor and becoming unwary; he cautions that betraying and attacking them in that state is a grievous adharma that condemns the perpetrator to hell.
