The verse underscores the ethical weight of speech and counsel: when a great-souled upholder of dharma addresses someone, the listener is positioned to respond with seriousness, humility, and responsibility—especially in matters of righteous conduct.
A royal sage is being addressed by Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira). The line functions as a narrative bridge, indicating that after Yudhiṣṭhira’s words, the rājarṣi is about to respond or act in accordance with that counsel.
