Explanation

Krishna names the qualities of the ṛṣis, seers, who reach the peace of Brahman. Their impurities are worn away, their doubts are cut, they are self-controlled, and they rejoice in sarvabhūtahita, the welfare of all beings. That final quality is striking. The one who has turned inward and found peace does not withdraw into indifference but is actively devoted to the good of others. The verse joins inner realisation and outward compassion, showing that the highest peace includes care for the world.
