Brāhmaṇa-vandana: Criteria for Veneration, Disciplined Speech, and Protective Kingship (अनुशासनपर्व, अध्याय ८)
शक्यं होवाहवे योद्धं न दातुमनसूयितम्
śakyaṃ hovāhave yoddhaṃ na dātum anasūyitam
毗湿摩说道：在战场上，或许还能寻得一名战士；但要得到一个不嫉妒、不挑剔过失的人，却无法靠赐予或求取。这样的心性并非他人可赠，唯有作为德行自我涵养而成。

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma contrasts external capability with inner virtue: martial skill may be obtained, but freedom from envy and fault-finding (anasūyā) is a rare ethical quality that cannot be simply ‘given’ by others; it must be developed through discipline and character.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on conduct (anuśāsana), he emphasizes the difficulty of finding truly noble-minded people. He notes that while warriors can be found for battle, a person devoid of envy and censoriousness is not something one can procure or confer at will.
