Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization

ह्वीमान्‌ हि पापं प्रद्वेष्टि तस्य श्रीरभिवर्धते । श्रीमान्‌ स यावत्‌ भवति तावद्‌ भवति पूरुष:,प्रज्ञाकी प्राप्ति होनेपर पुरुष केवल शास्त्रवचनोंपर ही दृष्टि रखता है। शास्त्रमें निष्ठा होनेपर वह पुनः धर्म करता है। धर्मका उत्तम अंग है लज्जा, जो धर्मके साथ ही आ जाती है। लज्जाशील मनुष्य पापसे द्वेष रखकर उससे दूर हो जाता है। अतः उसकी धन-सम्पत्ति बढ़ने लगती है। जो जितना ही श्रीसम्पन्न है, वह उतना ही पुरुष माना जाता है

hrīmān hi pāpaṃ pradveṣṭi tasya śrīr abhivardhate | śrīmān sa yāvat bhavati tāvad bhavati pūruṣaḥ ||

A person endowed with modesty (hrī) comes to loathe sin and keeps away from it; therefore prosperity increases for him. And to the extent that one is possessed of prosperity, to that extent he is regarded as a “person of standing” in the world—so says Yudhiṣṭhira, linking ethical restraint with social esteem and material flourishing.
