kaṭvamlalavaṇātyuṣṇatīkṣṇarūkṣavidāhinaḥ . āhārā rājasasyeṣṭā duḥkhaśokāmayapradāḥ
苦、酸、鹹、過熱、辛辣、乾澀、灼熱，且會帶來痛苦、悲傷和疾病的食物，為激性（拉賈斯，Rajas）之人所喜愛。
Foods that are bitter, sour, salty, very hot, pungent, dry and burning, and which production pain, sorrow and disease, are dear to one having rajas.
「過度」這個修飾詞應適用於所列的七種品質，例如「過鹹」等。激性食物會使人心神不寧，產生惡念、興奮、不斷渴望新事物，並帶來痛苦、煩惱和疾病。激性之人總是想方設法烹製各種菜餚來滿足口腹之慾。他們過量食用鹽、辣椒、芥末、丁香、調味品、辛辣泡菜等。即使淚流滿面、鼻涕直流，他們也不會放棄辛辣刺激的食物。他們的味蕾永不滿足，直到胃被辛辣之物完全填滿，舌頭被辣椒灼燒。
