Purport
In the absence of consciousness the limbs of the body remain inactive. But when consciousness returns back the limbs and senses become active and the very existence becomes delightful. Vidura was so dear to the family members of the Kaurava family that his absence for a long time from the palace was something synonymous with inactivity. All of them were feeling acute separation from Vidura and therefore his return back in the palace became a joyful atmosphere for one and all.
