Āśramāgamanam — The Pāṇḍavas Arrive at Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Hermitage
दिव्याम्बरधरा: सर्वे सर्वे भ्राजिष्णुकुण्डला: । निर्वेरा निरहंकारा विगतक्रोधमत्सरा:
vaiśampāyana uvāca |
divyāmbaradharāḥ sarve sarve bhrājiṣṇukuṇḍalāḥ |
nirvairā nirahaṅkārā vigatakrodhamatsarāḥ ||
毗湿摩波耶那说：他们众人皆身披天衣，人人佩戴光辉灿然的耳环。他们已无怨无我，弃却忿怒与嫉妒——如今以净化之相显现，超越了昔日束缚他们的诸般对立与争竞。

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.
