那種快樂，起初如甘露，最終卻似毒藥，源於感官與對象的接觸，被稱為變性 (rājasam) 之樂。
That joy is referred to as born of rajas which, arising from the contact of the organs and (their) objects, is like nectar in the beginning, but like poison at the end.
感官之樂常與痛苦、恐懼和罪惡交織。微小的感官之樂，卻伴隨著如山般的痛苦。沉溺於感官享樂者，必將同時經歷痛苦。他害怕失去帶來快樂的對象，對其產生執著。執著即是死亡，它將他一次又一次帶回這個死亡的世界。恐懼與執著與感官之樂並存。他必須付出巨大努力才能賺取金錢，並透過金錢獲得享樂對象。在努力過程中，他犯下許多罪惡，最終將在地獄中受苦，來世的性質也會非常低劣。他為了金錢說謊、欺騙他人。感官也會因沉溺於感官之樂而失去活力。他失去力量、活力、財富和精力。他的智力變得遲鈍、虛弱、不純、混濁和扭曲。他失去金錢和正確的理解。(參見V.22)
Sensual pleasure is mixed with pain? fear and sin. A small grain of sensual pleasure is mixed with a mountain of pain. He who indulges in sensual pleasures will have to experience pain also? side by side. He is afraid of losing the objects that give him pleasure. He is attached to them. Attachment is death. It brings him again and again to this world of death. Fear and attachment coexist with sensual pleasure. He has to exert a lot to get money. He can obtain the objects through money. During exertion he commits many sinful acts and he will have to suffer in hell. The next birth will be of a very low nature. He tells lies and cheats people to obtain money. The senses also lose their vigour through indulgence in sensual pleasure. He loses his strength? vigour? wealth and energy. His intellect becomes dull? weak? impure? turbid and perverted. He loses his money and proper understanding. (Cf.V.22)
