Durgātitaraṇa—Conduct for Crossing Difficulties (दुर्गातितरणम्)
जो दूसरोंकी सम्पत्तिसे ईर्ष्यावश जलते नहीं हैं और ग्राम्य विषय-भोगसे निवृत्त हो गये हैं, वे मनुष्योंमें श्रेष्ठ साधु पुरुष दुस्तर विपत्तिसे छुटकारा पा जाते हैं ।।
yo 'nyasya sampattito īrṣyāvaśāj jvalati na ca grāmya-viṣaya-bhogebhyo nivṛttaḥ, sa manuṣyeṣu śreṣṭhaḥ sādhu-puruṣo dustarāyā vipatter mokṣam āpnoti. sarvān devān namasyanti sarva-dharmāṃś caiva śṛṇvate; ye śraddadhānāḥ śāntāś ca te durgāṇy atitaranti.
毗湿摩教诲道：不因他人财富而嫉妒灼心、并已远离粗鄙世欲享乐者，乃人中最胜的善士；如此真善之人，连难以渡越的灾厄也能得解脱。又有那些礼敬一切诸天、聆听一切法与达摩之教者——具足信心与内在宁静——他们能越过艰难关隘，超出遍地苦海。

Educational Q&A
Freedom from envy and withdrawal from crude sense-indulgence are marks of the best people; coupled with reverence, attentive hearing of dharmic teachings, faith, and inner peace, these virtues enable one to overcome even formidable calamities and suffering.
In the Śānti Parva’s instruction section, Bhīṣma is advising Yudhiṣṭhira on righteous conduct and inner discipline after the war, emphasizing ethical purification (non-envy, restraint) and devotional-attentive orientation (reverence to the gods, listening to dharma) as practical means to endure and transcend misfortune.
