यया तु धर्मकामार्थान्धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन | प्रसङ्गेन फलाकाङ्क्षी धृतिः सा पार्थ राजसी
yayā tu dharmakāmārthāndhṛtyā dhārayate.arjuna . prasaṅgena phalākāṅkṣī dhṛtiḥ sā pārtha rājasī
但是,哦,阿周那(Arjuna),那种因执着于成果而坚守达摩(Dharma)、欲望和财富的坚毅,被称为变性(rajas)的坚毅。
But, O Partha, the firmness with which one holds on to righteousness, covetable things and wealth, being desirous of their fruits as the occasion for each arises, that firmness is born of rajas.
具有变性(Rajasic)坚毅的人,幻想自己将实现人生的三重目标,并热情地执着于此。他渴望获得行动的报酬。他努力追求达摩(Dharma)、财富和快乐。这样的人的坚毅是变性(Rajasic)的,或者说是充满激情的。现在请听,哦,阿周那(Arjuna),第三种坚毅——惰性(Tamasic)的类型。
The man of Rajasic firmness imagines that he will achieve the threefold aim of life and clings to it passionately. He is desirous of getting the rewards of his actions. He endeavours to attain Dharma? wealth and pleasure. The firmness of such a person is Rajasic or passionate.Now listen? O Arjuna? to the third kind of firmness -- the Tamasic type.
