लोभात् क्रोध: प्रभवति परदोषैरुदीर्यते
lobhāt krodhaḥ prabhavati paradoṣair udīryate
Wika ni Bhishma: Mula sa kasakiman isinilang ang galit, at lalo pa itong nag-aalab kapag palagiang pinagninilayan ang mga pagkukulang ng iba—kaya gumuho ang panloob na pagpipigil at nalalabuan ang paghatol ayon sa dharma.

Educational Q&A
Greed is identified as a root cause that generates anger, and anger grows stronger when one fixates on others’ faults; therefore, ethical living requires restraining desire and avoiding fault-finding that fuels resentment.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and inner peace, Bhishma teaches Yudhishthira about the psychological chain of vices—how greed gives rise to anger and how criticism of others becomes a trigger that intensifies it.
