Mahabharata — Shanti Parva, Shloka 10
Adhyāya 164: Gautama as Guest; Kaśyapa’s Satkāra and the Fourfold Arthagati; Journey to Virūpākṣa
दयया सर्वभूतानां निर्वेदात् सा निवर्तते । अवद्यदर्शनादेति तत्त्वज्ञानाच्च धीमताम्
dayayā sarvabhūtānāṁ nirvedāt sā nivartate | avadyadarśanād eti tattvajñānāc ca dhīmatām ||
毗湿摩解释说：这种有害的心性起于习惯于窥伺他人过失；但以对一切众生的慈悲与离欲（vairāgya），便能遏止并使之退转。对智者而言，如实知见的真智能将其彻底摧毁，以理解与克制取代挑错与苛责。
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that the tendency to judge and dwell on others’ faults gives rise to a destructive mental state, while compassion for all beings and dispassion restrain it; for the wise, insight into truth (tattva-jñāna) uproots it completely.
In Shanti Parva, Bhishma is instructing Yudhishthira on dharma and inner discipline. Here he analyzes the causes of a moral-psychological failing (born of fault-finding) and prescribes its remedies—compassion, detachment, and true knowledge.
