The verse highlights that dharma is supported by a wider moral-cosmic order: when a pivotal moment arises, the gods collectively gather, implying that righteous outcomes are not merely personal but resonate with and are affirmed by the divine order.
Śakra (Indra) narrates that all the deities, along with the Marut hosts, come together—signaling a formal divine assembly and a turning point where the gods are poised to witness, approve, or act in relation to the events being described.
