Yoga–Sāṃkhya Synthesis, Chariot Allegory, and the Vyakta–Avyakta Distinction
अमर्षेण न चान्योन्यं स्पृहयन्ते कदाचन । न च जातूपतप्यन्ति धीरा: परसमृद्धिभि:,अमर्षवश कभी एक-दूसरेके प्रति लाग-डाँट नहीं रखते थे। सभी धीर स्वभावके थे। दूसरोंकी समृद्धियोंसे उनके मनमें कभी संताप नहीं होता था
amarṣeṇa na cānyonyaṃ spṛhayante kadācana | na ca jātūpatapyante dhīrāḥ parasamṛddhibhiḥ ||
शक्र उवाच—अमर्षेण ते नान्योन्यं कदाचन स्पृहयन्ति स्म। धीराः परसमृद्धिभिः कदाचिदपि न तप्यन्ति स्म।

Educational Q&A
The verse praises the ethical discipline of the dhīra (steadfast person): one should not begrudge others out of resentment, nor suffer inner torment when others prosper. Freedom from envy is presented as a mark of true steadiness and virtue.
Śakra (Indra) is describing the conduct and inner disposition of noble, self-possessed people: they do not engage in mutual begrudging, and they remain untroubled by the success of others—highlighting an ideal temperament within the Shanti Parva’s moral instruction.
