अभिसन्धाय तु फलं दम्भार्थमपि चैव यत् | इज्यते भरतश्रेष्ठ तं यज्ञं विद्धि राजसम्
abhisandhāya tu phalaṃ dambhārthamapi caiva yat . ijyate bharataśreṣṭha taṃ yajñaṃ viddhi rājasam
然而，那为求果报，亦为炫耀而行的祭祀，巴拉塔（Bharata）后裔中最优秀者啊，须知那是变性（拉贾斯）的祭祀。
But that sacrifice which is performed having in veiw a result, as also for ostentation,-know that sacrifice to be done through rajas, O greatest among the descendants of Bharata.
如果有人为了获得天堂、子嗣、财富或名声而进行祭祀，那么这就是变性（拉贾斯）的祭祀。这种祭祀的执行者动机是为了增加自己的重要性，为了在世间推广自己的名声，为了获得某种回报，为了炫耀自己是一个伟大、虔诚和有学问的人，为了展示自己的财富以荣耀自己。他没有获得自我知识的抱负。
If anyone performs a sacrifice in order to obtain? heaven? son? wealth? or name and fame? then it is a sacrifice of a Rajasic nature. The performer of this kind of sacrifice has the motive of increasing his own importance? for popularising his own name in the world? for gaining some reward? for showing himself off as a great? pious and learned man? for making an exhibition of his riches for his own glorificaion. He has no aspiration for attaining the knowledge of the Self.
