Aṃśāvataraṇa-kathana (Catalog of Divine/Asuric Portions in Human Births) — Chapter 61
तांस्तथा सत्त्ववीर्यौज: सम्पन्नान् पौरसम्मतान् | नामृष्यन् कुरवो दृष्टवा पाण्डवाउछीयशोभूत:,सत्त्व (धैर्य और उत्साह), वीर्य (पराक्रम) तथा ओज (देहबल)-से सम्पन्न होनेके कारण पाण्डवलोग पुरवासियोंके प्रेम और सम्मानके पात्र थे। उनके धन, सम्पत्ति और यशकी वृद्धि होने लगी। यह सब देखकर कौरव उनके उत्कर्षको सहन न कर सके
tāṁs tathā sattva-vīryaujāḥ sampannān paura-sammatān | nāmṛṣyan kuravo dṛṣṭvā pāṇḍavān ucchīyaśo-bhūtān ||
Vaiśampāyana dijo: «Al ver a los Pāṇḍava—dotados de firme entereza, heroico valor y vigor corporal, y por ello amados y honrados por los ciudadanos—crecer en riqueza, prosperidad y fama, los Kaurava no pudieron soportar su creciente eminencia.»

Educational Q&A
The verse warns that envy (asahiṣṇutā) toward others’ virtue and success undermines dharma and relationships; inability to rejoice in another’s merit becomes a moral fault that can escalate into hostility and injustice.
The Pāṇḍavas, admired by the citizens for their qualities and strength, begin to flourish in wealth and fame; witnessing this rise, the Kauravas become unable to tolerate their growing prominence, foreshadowing deepening rivalry.
