रागी कर्मफलप्रेप्सुर्लुब्धो हिंसात्मकोऽशुचिः । हर्षशोकान्वितः कर्ता राजसः परिकीर्तितः ॥ २७ ॥
rāgī karma-phala-prepsur lubdho hinsātmako ’śhuchiḥ harṣha-śhokānvitaḥ kartā rājasaḥ parikīrtitaḥ
Translation
A doer who is passionate, eager for the fruits of action, greedy, violent, impure and swept by joy and sorrow is declared rajasic.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
जो कर्ता आसक्ति से युक्त, कर्मफल चाहने वाला, लोभी, हिंसा के स्वभाव वाला, अपवित्र और हर्ष-शोक से युक्त है, वह राजस कहा गया है।
Commentary
The rajasic worker rides an emotional rollercoaster: elated at success, crushed by setbacks (harsha-shoka), always hungry for results. The energy is real, but it is fuelled by craving and often spills over into harming others.
