The verse highlights an ethical ideal of social life: when people are guided by dharma, jealousy and rivalry subside, allowing different groups to mingle peacefully and act with mutual restraint.
Vaiśampāyana describes a scene in which Vaiśyas and Śūdras assemble in large numbers and mix together; the notable feature of the gathering is the absence of envy and the presence of dharma-oriented conduct.
