मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
सुखस्पर्श: सत्त्वगुणो दुःखस्पर्शो रजोगुण: । तमोगुणेन संयुक्ती भवतो5व्यावहारिकौ
sukhasparśaḥ sattvaguṇo duḥkhasparśo rajoguṇaḥ | tamoguṇena saṃyuktī bhavato 'vyāvahārikau ||
ビーシュマは言った。サットヴァの性は、幸福の触れとその経験をもたらす。ラジャスの性は、苦しみの触れとその経験をもたらす。だがこの二つがタマス—迷妄と闇—と結びつくとき、もはや日常の行為を導くにふさわしいものではなくなる。心は清明と正しい分別を失うからである。ゆえに、グナ（guṇa）がいかに経験を形づくるかを見極め、識別の力によって、タマスが安寧と義務（dharma）への歩みを歪めぬよう避けよ。

Educational Q&A
Happiness and sorrow arise according to the dominance of sattva and rajas, but when either is mixed with tamas (delusion), one’s experience and judgment become unreliable for right practical conduct; therefore discernment about the guṇas is essential for ethical living.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and inner discipline, Bhishma teaches Yudhishthira about the guṇas and how they condition human experience, warning that tamas corrupts both pleasure and pain into confusion that cannot guide proper action.
