Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca—

尤提士提罗说道：“祖父啊，我们残忍而罪孽深重。只为财富一事，我们——以邪恶之行——致使兄弟、父辈、孙辈、宗亲、挚友，乃至儿子们丧命。这由财物滋生的渴欲驱使我们犯下重罪。我们当如何连根拔除这‘渴爱’（tṛṣṇā）？”
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
Craving for wealth (artha-janya tṛṣṇā) can overpower judgment and lead to adharma; the verse frames renunciation of greed as an ethical necessity and the starting point for inner purification after violence.
In the aftermath of the Kurukṣetra war, Yudhiṣṭhira confesses moral anguish to his grandsire Bhīṣma, lamenting that wealth-driven desire led to the destruction of family and friends, and he asks how to remove this craving.
