That which makes every well-wisher flourish -- universal love for the Pandavas, "even down to the children" -- turns Duryodhana pale. It is telling that the measure of general goodwill toward the righteous is also the measure of the envious man's torment: the wider their fame spreads, the deeper his sickness. The verse teaches that envy deprives one of the very good of living: the envious man withers where others bloom, and sickens at what makes the world rejoice. And his pallor is the bodily sign of an inward wasting: malice, feeding on another's happiness, devours first of all its own bearer. One incapable of love is punished by that very incapacity -- it dries him up from within.
