Gautama’s Flight, the Enchanted Grove, and the Arrival of Rājadharma
Nāḍījaṅgha
अपने प्रिय मित्रमें तथा अप्रिय शत्रुमें भी समानभाव रखना “समता” है। इच्छा (राग), द्वेष, काम और क्रोधको मिटा देना ही समताकी प्राप्तिका उपाय है
priye mitre tathā apriye śatrau ca samabhāvaṃ dhārayitum—eṣā samatā. icchā (rāga), dveṣa, kāma tathā krodhaṃ nirākṛtyaiva samatā-prāptir upāyaḥ.
ビーシュマは言った。「愛する友にも、好意なき敵にも、同じく平等で静かな心を保つこと—これを『サマター（平等心）』という。その平等心を得る手立ては、欲（執着）、憎しみ、情欲、そして怒りを滅することである。」

Educational Q&A
Equanimity (samatā) is defined as holding the same inner attitude toward both friend and enemy, and it is achieved by removing attachment/desire (icchā/rāga), hatred (dveṣa), lust (kāma), and anger (krodha).
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and inner discipline, Bhishma is advising Yudhishthira on the qualities of a steady, ethical person—emphasizing impartiality and mastery over the passions that distort judgment.
