Sanatsujāta–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Saṃvāda: Brahmacarya and the Formless Brahman
Udyoga Parva 44
ईर्ष्या, हर्ष, बहुत बकवाद, विवेकशून्यता तथा गुणोंमें दोष देखनेका स्वभाव। इसलिये विद्वान् पुरुषको मदके वशीभूत नहीं होना चाहिये; क्योंकि सत्पुरुषोंने इस मदको सदा ही निन्दित बताया है
īrṣyā harṣaḥ bahu-bakavādaḥ viveka-śūnyatā tathā guṇeṣu doṣa-darśana-svabhāvaḥ; tasmād vidvān puruṣo mada-vaśībhūto na bhavet, yataḥ sat-puruṣaiḥ sa mado nityaṃ ninditaḥ proktaḥ.
萨那苏阇多解释说：傲慢之醉会生出嫉妒、放纵的狂喜、空泛而多余的言谈、辨别力的丧失，以及连他人之德中也要寻瑕的习气。因此，智者不应受此傲慢所制；因为真正的善人历来都斥责这种醉态为可鄙之事。

Educational Q&A
Pride (mada) is a moral intoxication that corrupts character—producing envy, empty talk, loss of discernment, and habitual fault-finding—so the wise should avoid being dominated by it, as the virtuous consistently condemn it.
In the Sanatsujātīya discourse within Udyoga Parva, Sanatsujāta instructs on ethical and spiritual discipline; here he warns against the degrading effects of pride and urges the conduct of a discerning, self-controlled person.
