Ādi-parva Adhyāya 132 — Duryodhana’s Instructions to Purocana at Vāraṇāvata
Lākṣāgṛha Planning
प्राणाधिकं भीमसेनं कृतविद्यं धनंजयम् । धार्तराष्ट्रा दुरात्मानो नामृष्यन्त परस्परम्,धृतराष्ट्रके पुत्र बड़े दुरात्मा थे। वे भीमसेनको बलमें अधिक और अर्जुनको अस्त्रविद्यामें प्रवीण देखकर परस्पर सहन नहीं कर पाते थे
prāṇādhikaṃ bhīmasenaṃ kṛtavidyaṃ dhanaṃjayam | dhārtarāṣṭrā durātmāno nāmṛṣyanta parasparam ||
ヴァイシャンパーヤナは語った。ドリタラーシュトラの息子たちは邪なる心を抱いていた。ビーマセーナが生命の力において人々を凌ぎ、ダナンジャヤ(アルジュナ)が武器の諸学に成就しているのを見て、彼らは耐えられなかった。パーンダヴァらに対する嫉妬と対抗心が、その胸中で燃えさかったのである。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
The verse highlights how envy arises when virtue and capability shine: the Kauravas, described as durātmānaḥ, cannot tolerate Bhīma’s superior strength and Arjuna’s mastery of weapons. Ethically, it warns that resentment toward others’ excellence is a mark of adharma and becomes a seed of future wrongdoing.
Vaiśampāyana narrates the growing hostility in the Kuru court: observing Bhīma’s exceptional might and Arjuna’s accomplished martial learning, Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s sons become unable to endure the Pāṇḍavas’ rising stature, intensifying rivalry that will later drive major conflicts.
