Nirmaryāda-saṃgrāma-varṇana — The Unbounded Clash and Bhīṣma’s Rallying Presence
अहंकार बल दर्प काम॑ क्रोध॑ च संश्रिता: । मामात्मपरदेहेषु प्रद्धिषन्तो5भ्यसूयका:+,वे अहंकार, बल, घमण्ड, कामना और क्रोधादिके परायण और दूसरोंकी निन्दा करनेवाले पुरुष अपने और दूसरोंके शरीरमें स्थित मुझ अन्तर्यामीसे द्वेष करनेवाले होते हैं?

我執と暴力の力、驕慢、欲望、怒りに寄りかかり—他をあげつらい嫉む者たちは—自らの身にも他者の身にも宿る内なる主であるこの我を憎むに至る。ここで戒められるのは、自己中心の高慢と敵意ある嫉妬という霊的盲目であり、それは万有に遍在する神聖を見失わせる。

Ego, arrogance, desire, and anger—combined with envy and fault-finding—lead a person to oppose the divine presence that dwells equally within oneself and within others; spiritual hostility is rooted in these inner vices.
In the Bhīṣma Parva context, the discourse highlights moral and spiritual causes behind destructive behavior: certain people, dominated by pride and envy, become antagonistic to the Lord who abides as the inner ruler in all embodied beings.
