ಅನುಬಂಧ (ಪರಿಣಾಮ), ಕ್ಷಯ (ನಷ್ಟ), ಹಿಂಸೆ ಮತ್ತು ತನ್ನ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸದೆ, ಮೋಹದಿಂದ ಯಾವ ಕರ್ಮವನ್ನು ಆರಂಭಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯೋ, ಅದನ್ನು ತಾಮಸವೆಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
That action is said to be born of tamas which is undertaken out of delusion, (and) without consideration of its conseence, loss, harm and ability.
ಮೋಹದಿಂದ, ಯಾವುದೇ ಪರಿಣಾಮ, ನಷ್ಟ, ಹಿಂಸೆ ಅಥವಾ ತನ್ನ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಯೋಚಿಸದೆ ಮಾಡುವ ಕರ್ಮವು ತಾಮಸವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಕ್ರಿಯೆಗಳು ಅಜ್ಞಾನದಿಂದ ಕೂಡಿದ್ದು, ಇತರರಿಗೆ ಹಾನಿ ಉಂಟುಮಾಡಬಹುದು.
Tamasic acts cause harm to others. A Tamasic man reflects not at all whether he has the capacity to perform these useless actions? but continues to act blindly. With utter thoughtlessness he sets aside any reflection as to the difficulty of performing the action and what the result of it would be. He carries it on in his own egoistical manner. He does not discriminate between the good and the bad? or what is ones own and what belongs to another.Kshayam Loss of power and of wealth? resulting from the performance of an action.Himsa Injury to living beings.Paurusham Ones own ability or capacity to complete the work.Now listen to the characteristics that pertain to the pure agent. The Lord proceeds to deal with the distinction among the agents.
