viśuddhamanaso dāntāḥ śraddhādamasamanvitāḥ | anasūyavo vikrodhāḥ sādhavo vītamatsarāḥ ||
তাদের মন ছিল নির্মল, আচরণ সংযত; তারা শ্রদ্ধা ও আত্মসংযমে সমৃদ্ধ। তারা দোষদৃষ্টি-শূন্য, ক্রোধমুক্ত, সাধু এবং ঈর্ষাহীন।

Educational Q&A
The verse defines an ethical ideal: purity of mind, disciplined senses, faith joined with restraint, and freedom from fault-finding, anger, and envy—qualities that mark a truly virtuous person.
Nakula is describing the character traits of exemplary people, emphasizing inner purity and social virtues (non-malice, non-anger, non-envy) as markers of dharmic conduct within the Ashvamedhika Parva’s reflective, post-war moral discourse.
