Verse
रजो रागात्मकं विद्धि तृष्णासंगसमुद्भवम् ।तन्निबध्नाति कौन्तेय कर्मसंगेन देहिनम् ॥
rajo rāgātmakaṃ viddhi tṛṣṇāsaṃgasamudbhavamtannibadhnāti kaunteya karmasaṃgena dehinam
Rajas, know thou, has for its essence attraction of liking and longing; it is a child of the attachment of the soul to the desire of objects; O Kaunteya, it binds the embodied spirit by attachment to works.
Gītā 14·7
