ईर्ष्या कामात् प्रभवति संहर्षाच्चैव जायते । इतरेषां तु सत्त्वानां प्रज्ञया सा प्रणश्यति
īrṣyā kāmāt prabhavati saṁharṣāc caiva jāyate | itareṣāṁ tu sattvānāṁ prajñayā sā praṇaśyati ||
ພີສະມະກ່າວວ່າ: ຄວາມອິດສາເກີດຈາກຄວາມປາຖະໜາ ແລະຍັງເກີດຂຶ້ນເມື່ອເຫັນຄວາມຍິນດີ ແລະຄວາມຮຸ່ງເຮືອງຂອງຜູ້ອື່ນ. ແຕ່ສໍາລັບສັດທັງຫຼາຍ ມັນຖືກທໍາລາຍໂດຍ «ປັນຍາ» (prajñā) — ປັນຍາແຫ່ງການແຍກແຍະ — ທີ່ເຮັດໃຫ້ຮູ້ວ່າການປຽບທຽບນັ້ນໄຮ້ປະໂຫຍດ ແລະຢັບຢັ້ງຄວາມຢາກໄດ້.

Educational Q&A
Envy is rooted in desire and in comparing oneself with others’ happiness; it is overcome by prajñā (discriminating wisdom) that checks craving and dissolves comparison.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on righteous conduct and inner discipline, Bhishma explains to the listener the causes of envy and prescribes wisdom as the means to eliminate it.
