Āśramāgamanam — The Pāṇḍavas Arrive at Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Hermitage
दिव्याम्बरधरा: सर्वे सर्वे भ्राजिष्णुकुण्डला: । निर्वेरा निरहंकारा विगतक्रोधमत्सरा:
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
divyāmbaradharāḥ sarve sarve bhrājiṣṇukuṇḍalāḥ |
nirvairā nirahaṅkārā vigatakrodhamatsarāḥ ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは言った。彼らは皆、天上の衣をまとって現れ、誰もが光り輝く耳飾りを着けていた。怨みも我執もなく、怒りと嫉みを捨て去り—かつて彼らを縛った対立を超えた、清浄なる相として顕れたのである。

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.
