Tirukkural-On Virtue-Freedom From Envy-Kural 167
Thavvaiyaik kaati vidum
Here is an effective translation of this Kural based on Rajaji's:
The Goddess of good fortune cannot bear the sight of envious people,
Whom she will turn over to her elder sister.
The elder sister of the goddess of good fortune is the goddess of misfortune - Sridevi and Mudhevi. The former cannot put up with envious people and so she will pass on such cases to the latter. This very concept of Hindu folk mythology, according to Rajaji, would explain the philosophy of the Vedanta, which looks on pain and pleasure with indifference as on two sisters.
A person who cannot see and be happy about other people's good fortune, is not fit to enjoy good fortune himself, and deserves to be miserable.
