Kṣemadarśa–Kālakavṛkṣīya Saṃvāda: Counsel on Impermanence, Non-attachment, and Composure in Dispossession
सहस्व श्रियमन्येषां यद्यपि त्वयि नास्ति सा । अन्यत्रापि सतीं लक्ष्मी कुशला भुज्जते सदा
sahasva śriyam anyeṣāṃ yadyapi tvayi nāsti sā | anyatrāpi satīṃ lakṣmīṃ kuśalā bhuñjate sadā ||
毗湿摩说:当荣华归于他人之时,即便你自身并无此福,也当忍受而不怨。因为有才智而明辨之人,总能在福运寄居于何处之时,善加受用并使之成其利。
भीष्म उवाच
Bhīṣma teaches kṣānti (forbearance) and non-envy: one should patiently accept that wealth and success may be with others, and cultivate the skill and steadiness to live well without resentment, making wise use of whatever fortune is available.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma and right conduct after the war. Here he advises a king to restrain jealousy over others’ prosperity and to adopt the practical wisdom of the capable, who can benefit from circumstances even when Lakṣmī is not personally with them.
