यक्ष उवाच
किं नु हित्वा प्रियो भवति किं नु हित्वा न शोचति।
किं नु हित्वाऽर्थवान् भवति किं नु हित्वा सुखी भवेत्॥
युधिष्ठिर उवाच
मानं हित्वा प्रियो भवति क्रोधम् हित्वा न शोचति।
कामं हित्वाऽर्थवान् भवति लोभम् हित्वा सुखी भवेत्॥
महभारते यक्षप्रश्ने ५८--५९ २९७ सर्गं आरण्यकपर्वणि
yakṣa uvāca
kiṁ nu hitvā priyo bhavati kiṁ nu hitvā na śocati|
kiṁ nu hitvā'rthavān bhavati kiṁ nu hitvā sukhī bhavet||
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca
mānaṁ hitvā priyo bhavati krodham hitvā na śocati|
kāmaṁ hitvā'rthavān bhavati lobham hitvā sukhī bhavet||
mahabhārate yakṣapraśne 58--59 297 sargaṁ āraṇyakaparvaṇi
This is an interesting question-answer session between the Yaksha (who is fact is the Dharmaraaja) and yudhistira, the Dharmaputra.
The yaksha makes four queris
1. abandoning what does one becomes the beloved of all?
2.abandoning what one is saved of all sorrows?
3. abandoning which one becomes the richest? and
4. abandoning which one becomes extremely comfortable?
The equally wise son of that brilliant querist, answers that:-
1. if arrogance is abandoned, one becomes the darling of all,
2. abstain from bouts uncontrollable rage and one's sorrows also would be packed off then.
3. steer clear of lustfulness and one's wealth will remain with himself.
and
4. put on tethers avarice and eagerness to hoard everything for oneself and life becomes very calm and comfortable.
The questions and answers are classically lucid and no better comments can be ever made
