Previous verse · Next verse

यया तु धर्मकामार्थान्धृत्या धारयतेऽर्जुन। प्रसङ्गेन फलाकाङ्क्षी धृतिः सा पार्थ राजसी॥

That determination by which one holds fast to duty, wealth, and pleasure, attached and desiring fruits of action, is Rajasic, O Partha.

Rajasic willpower is driven by material ambitions, status, and worldly enjoyment.
