अमार्सर्य बुधा: प्राहुर्दाने धर्मे च संयम: । अवस्थितेन नित्यं च सत्येनामत्सरी भवेत्
Translation
Les sages appellent « absence de matsarya » (absence d’envie) la maîtrise de l’esprit lorsqu’on fait le don (dāna) et qu’on accomplit le dharma : ne pas jalouser autrui en ces choses. C’est en observant constamment la vérité (satya) que l’homme peut devenir exempt d’envie.
