=== अनसूया ॥ Anasuya ===
Anasuya: Asuya means jealousy and an-asuya means the absence of jealousy. A person must never be jealous of another person’s knowledge, wealth, or prosperity as jealousy leads to frustration and anger that in turn leads to various wrongdoings. A jealous person thinks of stealing other’s wealth or causing some harm to the other. Hence, jealousy will result in mental confusion and social discord and ultimately take a person to spiritual fall. Therefore, the tenet of anasuya has been prescribed as one of the common tenets of dharma.<ref name=":7" />
