The verse highlights dharmic decorum: offering praṇāma (respectful salutation) is a visible practice of humility and recognition of rightful status, sustaining harmony and ethical order even among powerful figures.
Vaiśampāyana reports that Kṛṣṇa along with the Pāṇḍavas, and also Sātyaki, Sañjaya, and Kṛpācārya (Śāradvata Kṛpa), perform salutations—marking a formal, respectful moment in the assembly’s proceedings.
