Visuddhimagga XIV-172

486. Issāyanā issā. Sā parasampattīnaṃ usūyanalakkhaṇā. Tattheva anabhiratirasā, tato vimukhabhāvapaccupaṭṭhānā, parasampattipadaṭṭhānā, saṃyojananti daṭṭhabbā.
16)嫉妒作为「嫉」。它有嫉羡他人的繁荣的特相;有不喜(他人的繁荣)的作用;以面背(他人的繁荣)为现状;以他人所得的繁荣为近因。当知嫉是结缚。
Ñ(XIV,172): (xlvi) Envying is envy. It has the characteristic of being jealous of other's success. Its function is to be dissatisfied with that. It is manifested as averseness from that. Its proximate cause is another's success. It should be regarded as a fetter.
