यया धर्ममधर्मं च कार्यं चाकार्यमेव च । अयथावत्प्रजानाति बुद्धिः सा पार्थ राजसी ॥ ३१ ॥
yayā dharmam adharmaṁ cha kāryaṁ chākāryam eva cha ayathāvat prajānāti buddhiḥ sā pārtha rājasī
Translation
The intellect that wrongly understands dharma and adharma, what should be done and what should not, is rajasic, O Parth.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे पार्थ! जिस बुद्धि से मनुष्य धर्म और अधर्म को तथा कर्तव्य और अकर्तव्य को यथार्थ रूप से नहीं जानता, वह बुद्धि राजसी है।
Commentary
Rajasic intelligence is not stupid, but it is confused (ayathavat, "not as it is"). Desire bends its judgement, so it sees right and wrong through the lens of what it wants.
