The verse highlights how a ruler’s movement and decisions are shaped by entourage and advisers; when counsel is driven by factional loyalty and pride, it can reinforce adharma rather than self-restraint.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Duryodhana departs from the place, surrounded by Duḥśāsana, Śakuni (Saubala), his other brothers, and a large retinue of women.
