Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 34 — Vidura’s Counsel on Deliberation, Speech-Discipline, and Dharmic Kingship
असूयको दन्दशूको निष्ठछरो वैरकूच्छठ: । स कृच्छूं महदाप्रोति न चिरात् पापमाचरन्,गुणोंमें दोष देखनेवाला, मर्मपर आघात करने-वाला, निर्दयी, शत्रुता करनेवाला और शठ मनुष्य पापका आचरण करता हुआ शीघ्र ही महान् कष्टको प्राप्त होता है
asūyako dandaśūko niṣṭhuro vairakūcchaṭhaḥ | sa kṛcchraṃ mahad āpnoti na cirāt pāpam ācaran ||
毗度罗说：那嫉妒之人，以尖刻之言如齿噬般伤人，心肠刚硬无慈，怀抱怨仇，且狡诈欺诳——此人若执迷于罪行，不久便会堕入巨大的困厄。此教诫警示：挑剔过失与残忍并非仅是世俗恶习；它们终将成熟为施行者自身的苦果，并侵蚀通往达摩之道。

Educational Q&A
Envy, hostile intent, deceit, and cruel speech are self-destructive: when one persists in such pāpa (wrongdoing), suffering (kṛcchra) arises quickly. The verse frames ethical speech and inner disposition as central to dharma.
In Udyoga Parva, Vidura delivers moral counsel (Vidura-nīti) amid the rising tension before the Kurukṣetra war. Here he characterizes the type of person whose conduct inevitably leads to near-term misery, warning against fault-finding and malicious behavior.
