The verse highlights the ethical tension of kṣatriya leadership: even when a ruler is exhausted or withdrawn, advisers and allies press him to resume his public duty—here, to rejoin the collective effort in war. It foregrounds resolve and responsibility as expected royal virtues.
Sañjaya reports that certain warriors (implied by the plural verb) approach and address a formidable king who is asleep in water, urging him to get up and fight alongside them against Yudhiṣṭhira.
