Vimokṣa-niścaya: Pañcaśikha’s Analysis of Aggregates, Guṇas, and Tyāga (मोक्षनिर्णयः)
जो लोभवश काम-क्रोधका अनुसरण करते हुए धर्ममार्गका उल्लंघन करके अधर्मका आचरण करने लगता है, वह सगे-सम्बन्धियोंसहित नष्ट हो जाता है ।।
śabdādīn viṣayāṁs tasmān na saṁrāgād ayaṁ vrajet | krodho harṣo viṣādaś ca jāyanteha parasparāt ||
毗湿摩说道：因此，欲求自身安稳之人，不应在执著（爱染）支配下追逐声等诸境。因为若以贪求而沉溺其中，此世便生喜、嗔与忧，彼此递相引发，扰乱明辨，使人偏离正法之道。

Educational Q&A
Do not pursue sense-objects out of attachment; craving triggers a chain of emotional upheavals—elation, anger, and dejection—each feeding the next, which destabilizes judgment and leads one away from dharma and one’s true welfare.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma is advising Yudhishthira on righteous living and inner discipline. Here he explains how indulgence driven by attachment produces interlinked emotional states that undermine ethical conduct.
