Āśramāgamanam — The Pāṇḍavas Arrive at Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Hermitage
यस्य वीरस्य यो वेषो यो ध्वजो यच्च वाहनम् । तेन तेन व्यदृश्यन्त समुपेता नराधिपा:,जिस वीरका जैसा वेष, जैसी ध्वजा और जैसा वाहन था, वह उसीसे युक्त दिखायी दिया। वहाँ प्रकट हुए सभी नरेश दिव्य वस्त्र धारण किये हुए थे। सबके कानोंमें चमकीले कुण्डल शोभा पाते थे। उस समय वे वैर, अहंकार, क्रोध और मात्सर्य छोड़ चुके थे

Vaiśampāyana disse: Cada herói apareceu trazendo o mesmo traje, estandarte e veículo que lhe pertenciam. Os reis que ali se manifestaram estavam adornados com vestes divinas, e em suas orelhas brilhavam esplêndidos brincos. Nesse estado, haviam deixado para trás a inimizade, o orgulho, a ira e o ciúme—sinal de uma transformação para além das paixões da guerra.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the shedding of destructive emotions—enmity, pride, anger, and jealousy—suggesting that true resolution comes when the passions that fuel conflict are relinquished, and identity is seen without hostility.
In the Ashramavāsika context, the departed kings/warriors are described as appearing in a radiant, recognizable form—each with his characteristic attire, banner, and mount—now purified of the rivalries and resentments that marked their earthly conflict.
