PURPORT

In the absence of consciousness, the limbs of the body remain inactive.
But when consciousness returns, the limbs and senses become active, and
existence itself becomes delightful. Vidura was so dear to the members of
the Kaurava family that his long absence from the palace was comparable
to inactivity. All of them were feeling acute separation from Vidura, and
therefore his return to the palace was joyful for all.
