yudhiṣṭhira uvāca: krodhaḥ sudurjayaḥ śatrur lobho vyādhir anantakaḥ | sarvabhūtahitaḥ sādhur asādhur nirdayaḥ smṛtaḥ ||
قال يودهيشثيرا: «الغضب عدوٌّ شديد العسر على القهر؛ والطمع داءٌ لا ينتهي. من يبتغي خير جميع الكائنات يُسمّى صالحًا (sādhu)، وأما القاسي عديم الرحمة فيُذكر على أنه طالح.»
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Anger and greed are portrayed as inner adversaries—anger as a hard-to-conquer enemy and greed as an endless disease—while true goodness is defined by universal benevolence; cruelty is the mark of the unvirtuous.
In the Vana Parva’s didactic setting, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a moral definition of character: he contrasts destructive impulses (anger, greed) with the dharmic ideal of acting for the welfare of all beings, and condemns mercilessness as the sign of an asādhu.
