When prescribed rites and ethical-religious observances collapse, even the gods are portrayed as losing stability and prosperity; the verse underscores that dharma (sustained through right conduct and ritual order) is a pillar of cosmic and social well-being.
Bhishma recounts a traditional report: the Danavas overpower the gods and disrupt the world’s ritual life, leading to the gods’ loss of splendor and their wandering upon the earth in hardship.
