mahabharataved-vyasshanti-parva

Sanskrit Original

रजोगुणानां संघातो रूपमैश्चर्यविग्रहो। अत्यागित्वमकारुण्यं सुखदुःखोपसेवनम्॥ परापवादेषु रतिर्विवादानां च सेवनम्। अहंकारमसत्कारश्चिन्ता वैरोपसेवनम्॥ परितापोऽभिहरणं ह्रीनाशोऽनार्जवं तथा। भेदः परुषता चैव कामः क्रोधो मदस्तथा॥ दर्पो द्वेषोऽतिवादश्च ऐते प्रोक्ता रजोगुणाः। तामसानां तु संघातं प्रवक्ष्याम्युपधार्यताम्॥
