उद्योगपर्व — अध्याय २५: संजयदूतवाक्यम्
Sañjaya’s Envoy-Speech on Peace
कामार्थलाभेन तथैव भूयो न तृप्यते सर्पिषेवाग्निरिद्ध: । विषयोंका चिन्तन अपने शरीरको पीड़ा देता है। जो विषय-चिन्तनसे सर्वथा मुक्त है
kāmārthalābhena tathaiva bhūyo na tṛpyate sarpiṣevāgniriddhaḥ |
サンジャヤは言った。「欲する物と財を得た後でさえ、人は満ち足りぬ。むしろ渇望はいよいよ増す—燃えさかる火にギー（精製バター）を注げば、鎮まるどころかさらに勢いを増すように。ゆえに、享楽と獲得は渇きを終わらせず、かえってそれを煽り、心はついに満たされぬ。」

Educational Q&A
Sense-enjoyment and material gain do not extinguish craving; they fuel it. True relief from suffering comes from freedom from obsessive sense-oriented thinking and the cultivation of contentment and restraint.
In the Udyoga Parva’s counsel-oriented context, Sañjaya conveys a moral reflection to the royal audience: the pursuit of kāma and artha tends to intensify desire, illustrated by the image of a blazing fire that grows stronger when ghee is poured into it.
