FAQs
It describes a condition of society where moral blemishes like hatred (dveṣa) and jealousy (matsara) no longer arise, resulting in harmony and fearlessness.
By stating that when hatred and jealousy are absent, people become free from fear, it links inner moral states to outward social security and peace.
Literally “cowherds” or “protectors of cows,” and by extension community protectors who uphold right conduct; the verse suggests they will act properly in that harmonious state.
