శోకరహితుడు, మమకారరహితుడు, శాంతుడు, ప్రసన్నాత్ముడు, మత్సరరహితుడు, (సంతోషి)—ఈ ఆరు లక్షణాలతో యుక్తుడైన మనిషి సమగ్రుడై మళ్లీ సంపూర్ణతను పొందుతాడు.

Educational Q&A
Liberation-oriented wholeness arises from cultivating six inner virtues: freedom from grief, non-possessiveness, tranquility, clarity/cheerfulness of mind, and absence of envy (with the verse presenting these as defining marks of a spiritually complete person).
In the instruction-heavy Shānti Parva, Vyāsa states a concise criterion for spiritual maturity: a person recognized by these inner qualities becomes ‘samagra’—integrated and fulfilled—moving toward the highest end (mokṣa) through knowledge and inner discipline.
