The verse stresses rājadharma: confidential counsel is a pillar of stable rule, and once secrecy is breached, the resulting political dangers often become irreparable.
Vaiśaṃpāyana comments on the peril kings face when private deliberations leak, asserting that such exposure brings crises that cannot easily be set right.
