Tīrtha-vaṃśa Upadeśa: Instruction on the Fruits of Sacred Waters
विषमव्यवहाराश्नव विषमाश्रैव वृद्धिषु । लाभेषु विषमाश्चैव ते वै निरयगामिन:
viṣama-vyavahārāś caiva viṣamāś caiva vṛddhiṣu | lābheṣu viṣamāś caiva te vai niraya-gāminaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：凡待人处事不能一视同仁者，且在增益与获利之事上偏私——不能以公正分配利益者——必定堕入地狱。此教诫以偏颇之行，尤其在社会与经济往来中，视为对达摩的重大违犯。

Educational Q&A
Impartiality is a key requirement of dharma: one must deal equally with all and distribute gains and increments fairly; deliberate bias in transactions and allocation is treated as a serious moral fault with grave karmic consequences.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction on dharma, Bhishma continues advising Yudhishthira on righteous conduct, warning that those who practice partial and unequal dealings—especially regarding profit and growth—incur sin and fall to hell.
