Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 313 · Verse 20
Sanskrit Original
तमसो लक्षणानीह भक्षणाद्यभिरोचनम्। भोजनानामपर्याप्तिस्तथा पेयेष्वतृप्तता॥ गन्धवासो विहारेषु शयनेष्वासनेषु च। दिवास्वप्नेऽतिवादे च प्रामदेषु च वै रतिः॥ नृत्यवादित्रगीतानामज्ञानाच्छ्रद्दधानता। द्वेषो धर्मविशेषाणामेते वै तामसा गुणाः॥
Besides these, the other marks of Ignorance are greediness for food, ceaseless appetite for both food and drink, taking pleasure in scents and dresses and sports and beds and seats and sleep during the day and calumny and all sorts of acts proceeding from carelessness, taking pleasure, in dancing and instrumental and vocal music, and aversion for every sort of religion. These, indeed, are the characteristics of Ignorance.
