ଯୁଧିଷ୍ଠିର କହିଲେ— କ୍ରୋଧ ହିଁ ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଦୁର୍ଜୟ ଶତ୍ରୁ; ଲୋଭ ହିଁ ଅନନ୍ତ ବ୍ୟାଧି; ଯେ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣୀଙ୍କ ହିତ ଚାହେ ସେଇ ସାଧୁ; ନିର୍ଦୟ ପୁରୁଷ ଅସାଧୁ ବୋଲି ସ୍ମରଣୀୟ।
युधिछिर उवाच
Anger and greed are portrayed as inner adversaries—anger as a hard-to-conquer enemy and greed as an endless disease—while true goodness is defined by universal benevolence; cruelty is the mark of the unvirtuous.
In the Vana Parva’s didactic setting, Yudhiṣṭhira articulates a moral definition of character: he contrasts destructive impulses (anger, greed) with the dharmic ideal of acting for the welfare of all beings, and condemns mercilessness as the sign of an asādhu.
