Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary





Continuing furtherLord Krishna states that the ever  increasing  desire  for
wealth known as greed and avarice keeps one always in activities to  acquire
and enjoy.  Restlessness,   agitation,  the  incessant  impulse  to  perform
actions for the purpose of satisfying desires. Longing to exploit and  enjoy
things as soon  as  they  are  seen  by  any  means  available.  When  these
characteristics are prevalent then it is apparent  that  raja  guna  or  the
mode of passion is predominant within a jiva or embodied being,


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary



Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary





Lord Krishna now describes what is indicative of passion with the  following
words.


The word lobha means greed, avarice, parsimony regarding wealth.


The word pravritih means restlessness with no specific purpose or reason.


The word arambhah means engaging in fruitive activities.


The word asamah means agitation of the senses.


The  word spriha means craving for sense gratification.


All of these qualities manifest when raja guna or the  mode  of  passion  is
predominant.
