Vaiśampāyana dit : Tous apparurent revêtus de vêtements divins, tous portant des pendants d’oreilles éclatants. Délivrés de l’inimitié et de l’orgueil, ils avaient rejeté la colère et la jalousie—désormais manifestés dans un état purifié, au-delà des rivalités qui jadis les enchaînaient.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical purification: true peace is marked by the absence of vaira (enmity), ahaṅkāra (ego), krodha (anger), and matsara (jealousy). It implies that beyond worldly conflict, the highest state is inner freedom from these afflictions.
In the Ashramavāsika context, departed kings are being described as appearing in a celestial, transformed condition—adorned with divine clothing and shining ornaments—no longer carrying the rivalries and passions that fueled conflict in life.
