The verse emphasizes disciplined adherence to rightful authority: Arjuna acts only after receiving Virāṭa’s permission, modeling restraint and propriety in handling sensitive items connected with warfare and the royal household.
After being authorized by King Virāṭa, Arjuna (Pārtha)—in the Virāṭa-parvan context often associated with his disguised role—personally hands over certain garments to Virāṭa’s daughter (Uttarā), garments connected with the aftermath of battle.
