यया धर्ममधर्मं च कार्यं चाकार्यमेव च | अयथावत्प्रजानाति बुद्धिः सा पार्थ राजसी
yayā dharmamadharmaṃ ca kāryaṃ cākāryameva ca . ayathāvatprajānāti buddhiḥ sā pārtha rājasī
ఓ పార్థా! ఏ బుద్ధి ధర్మమును, అధర్మమును, చేయదగిన కార్యమును, చేయకూడని కార్యమును సరిగా తెలుసుకొనదో, ఆ బుద్ధి రాజసమైనది.
O Partha, that intellect is born of rajas with which one wrongly understands virtue and vice as also what ought to be done and ought not to be done.
రజోగుణ ప్రధానమైన బుద్ధి ధర్మాధర్మాలను, చేయదగిన, చేయకూడని పనులను తప్పుగా అర్థం చేసుకుంటుంది. ఇది సరైన విచక్షణను కలిగి ఉండదు.
There is no proper eivalent in the English language for the word Dharma. Duty? righteousness? virtue? law are very poor translations of the word. That which elevates you and takes you to the goal? i.e.? Brahman or the Self? is Dharma. That which hurls you down into the dark abyss of ignorance is Adharma. What is ordained in the scriptures is Dharma what is prohibited by them is Adharma. A Rajasic intellect is not able to distinguish between right and wrong or to understand the difference between righteous and unrighteous actions.Ayathavat Wrongly Contrary to what is determined by all authorities or men of wisdom or to the highest knowledge.
