The verse highlights royal dharma expressed through conduct: a ruler first honours elders and peers with proper salutations, receives their goodwill without arrogance, and proceeds with humility—showing that authority is grounded in respect, gratitude, and adherence to social-ethical norms.
Yudhiṣṭhira arrives, formally salutes the senior Kuru elders and other assembled kings, is respectfully welcomed by them, feels pleased, and then goes to the excellent residence of his grandmother Kuntī.
