Shloka 32
मनु-उपदेशः — भूत-उत्पत्ति, इन्द्रिय-निवृत्ति, तथा पर-स्वभाव-विवेकः
Manu’s Instruction on Elemental Origination, Sense-Withdrawal, and Discrimination of the Supreme Nature
अथ यद् दुःखसंयुक्तमप्रीतिकरमात्मन: । प्रवृत्त रज इत्येव तन्न संरभ्य चिन्तयेत्
atha yad duḥkhasaṃyuktam aprītikaram ātmanaḥ | pravṛttaṃ raja ity eva tan na saṃrabhya cintayet ||
毗湿摩说道：每当心中生起与忧苦相连、令内里不悦的状态，应当明白那只是“罗阇斯”（rajas，激情与躁动之性）的发动。因此，遭遇那份忧苦时，不应以焦虑的反复思量去搅动其心；因为忧虑只会使痛苦增长。

Educational Q&A
Sorrowful, displeasing mental states should be identified as the rise of rajas; instead of feeding them with anxious rumination, one should remain unagitated, since worry intensifies suffering.
In Śānti Parva, Bhīṣma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on inner discipline and ethical living; here he gives a practical diagnostic: recognize distress as a guṇa-driven movement (rajas) and avoid reactive worry.
