The verse highlights rāja-bhakti—loyal service to rightful authority—as a stabilizing ethical force: attendants act with discipline and purpose when devotion and duty guide them.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that the charioteers, motivated by loyalty to their king, go to Sahadeva (addressed as king) and also to Bhīma and Nakula, who are described as being pleased or elated.
