यया तु धर्मकामार्थान्धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन | प्रसङ्गेन फलाकाङ्क्षी धृतिः सा पार्थ राजसी
yayā tu dharmakāmārthāndhṛtyā dhārayate.arjuna . prasaṅgena phalākāṅkṣī dhṛtiḥ sā pārtha rājasī
但是,喔,波陀之子,那藉由堅毅,執著於達摩(Dharma)、慾望和財富,並因執著而渴望其果報的堅毅,是屬於變性(Rajas)的。
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.
變性(Rajasic)堅毅的人想像他將實現人生的三重目標並熱情地執著於此。他渴望獲得其行動的獎勵。他努力實現達摩(Dharma)、財富和快樂。這樣的人的堅毅是變性(Rajasic)或熱情的。現在,喔,阿周那,請聽第三種堅毅——惰性(Tamasic)類型。
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.
