The verse highlights dharmic conduct in relationships: one should seek permission, offer due honor, and depart respectfully. Even a celestial figure like Mātali models humility and propriety toward Rāma.
After honoring Rāma and taking his leave, Mātali departs in a chariot shining like the sun and goes to Svarga, indicating the completion of his role as a divine envoy in the episode narrated by Mārkaṇḍeya.
