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.

Translation
Seeing that their friend had returned, Yudhiṣṭhira and his brothers, Dhṛtarāṣtṛa, Yuyutsu, Sañjaya, Kṛpācārya, Kuntī, Gāndhārī, Draupadī, Subhadrā, Uttarā, Kṛpī, the rest of the relatives of Pāṇḍu and their wives and sons became revived, as if their life airs had returned to their limbs, and according to suitability, joyfully mixed with his company, greeted and embraced him.
Commentary

Sūta means Sañjaya, Śāradvataḥ is Kṛpa. Kṛpī is the wife of Droṇācārya. Jāmayaḥ means wives of the relatives. The word yāmi is seen in dictionaries along with words starting with consonants and semi-vowels. When the life air goes, a person faints. When the life air returns, the person regains consciousness. Tanvaḥ means parts of the body like hands and feet. As if life airs had returned to the limbs, they revived their various actions.
