The verse highlights ethical urgency and accountability in governance: when a grave decision like war approaches, truthful counsel must be conveyed promptly and respectfully. Sañjaya’s haste and reverence indicate that responsible speech and timely communication are themselves aspects of dharma.
After meeting Arjuna and paying homage to Kṛṣṇa in a divine (four-armed) aspect, Sañjaya departs immediately and arrives at the king’s side to deliver an important message—part of the tense pre-war exchanges in the Udyoga Parva.
