那不穩定、粗俗、頑固、欺詐、邪惡、懶惰、沮喪且拖延的行動者,被稱為具備惰性(Tamas)。
The agent who is unsteady, naive, unbending, deceitful, wicked, [A variant reading is naikrtikah.-Tr.] lazy, morose and procrastinating is said to be possessed of tamas.
由於其粗俗的本性,他無法辨別適當與不適當的行為。他的內心充滿虛榮。他絕不會向神祇或聖者頂禮。他的舉止非常僵硬和頑固。他是欺騙的化身,是賭博和所有此類惡習的淵藪。他總是準備好做惡事。當有機會行善時,他卻極其懶惰和不活躍,但在行惡時卻非常警覺。Prakritah 粗俗:指智力上相當未開化,像個孩子。Stabdhah 頑固不屈:像木頭一樣,不向任何人彎腰。Shathah 欺騙:隱藏其真實本性。Naishkritikah 惡意:在人群中製造爭吵和糾紛。Alasah 懶惰:連應該做的事情也不做。Dirghasutri 拖延:將職責拖延太久,總是懶散,連今天或明天應該做的事情,一個月內也無法完成。
Owing to his vulgar nature he is not able to discriminate between proper and improper actions. His heart is filled with vanity. He will never prostrate himself before the deity or a sage. He is very stiff and unbending in his demeanour. He is the very embodiment of deceit? the abode of the passion for gambling and all such vices. He is ever ready to do evil actions. When an opportunity for his doing good occurs? he is utterly slothful and inactive? but he is very alert in doing evil.Prakritah Vulgar Quite uncultured in intellect one who is childish.Stabdhah Unbending (like a stick)? not bowing down to anybody.Shathah Cheating concealing his real nature.Naishkritikah Creating arrels and disputes among the people.Alasah Lazy Not doing even that which ought to be done.Dirghasutri Postponing duties too long always slothful not performing even in a month what ought to be done today or tomorrow.
