यत्तु कामेप्सुना कर्म साहंकारेण वा पुनः | क्रियते बहुलायासं तद्राजसमुदाहृतम्
yattu kāmepsunā karma sāhaṃkāreṇa vā punaḥ . kriyate bahulāyāsaṃ tadrājasamudāhṛtam
ಆದರೆ, ಯಾವ ಕರ್ಮವು ಫಲವನ್ನು ಬಯಸುವವನಿಂದ ಅಥವಾ ಅಹಂಕಾರದಿಂದ, ಬಹಳ ಆಯಾಸದಿಂದ ಮಾಡಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೆಯೋ, ಅದನ್ನು ರಾಜಸವೆಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
But that action is said to be born of rajas which is done by one desirous of results or by one who is egotistic, and which is highly strenuous.
ಫಲದ ಆಸೆಯಿಂದ ಅಥವಾ ಅಹಂಕಾರದಿಂದ, ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಶ್ರಮವಹಿಸಿ ಮಾಡುವ ಕರ್ಮವು ರಾಜಸವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಕರ್ಮಗಳು ಕರ್ತನನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಸಂತೋಷ-ದುಃಖಗಳನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತವೆ.
A passionate man performs various selfish actions. He boasts of his actions in public. Passion prompts him to do them. He can never work without expectation of a reward.Kamepsuna? phalepsuna The Rajasic or passionate man expects pleasures as fruits of action. A liberated sage alone is absolutely free from egoism. He will not dream even of a reward for the action? because all his desires are gratified when he realises Brahman. He is an Aptakama. (Aptakamasya ka spriha) How can there be longing or craving in a sage in whom all desires are gratified or burnt by the fire of SelfknowledgeEven the performer of a pure act? who has no knowledge of the Self is egoistic. If such be the case? the Rajasic and Tamasic workers are much more egoistic. In worldly parlance we speak of a learned Pundit This Pundit is a very modest? unassuming? and egoless Brahmana.Now listen? O Arjuna? to the characteristics of action that is of darkness.
