Adhyāya 164: Gautama as Guest; Kaśyapa’s Satkāra and the Fourfold Arthagati; Journey to Virūpākṣa
सत्यत्यागात् तु मात्सर्यमहितानां च सेवया । एतत् तु क्षीयते तात साधूनामुपसेवनात्
satyatyāgāt tu mātsaryam ahitānāṁ ca sevayā | etat tu kṣīyate tāta sādhūnām upasevanāt ||
ビーシュマは説く。真実を捨て、害をなす悪しき者に仕え、あるいは交わるとき、嫉み(マーツァリヤ)の過失が生じる。だが、わが子よ、この過失は善人に近侍し、その交わりに身を置くことで、やがて磨り減り、滅び去る—善き人に仕え、その傍らに住むことによって。
भीष्म उवाच
Envy arises from abandoning truth and associating with harmful people; it is reduced and destroyed through service and close association with the virtuous (sādhus).
In Śānti Parva, Bhishma instructs the listener on ethical conduct and inner faults, identifying the causes of mātsarya (envy) and prescribing satsanga—serving and keeping company with good people—as its remedy.
