Know rajas to be of the nature of craving, arising from thirst and attachment; it binds the embodied self, O son of Kuntī, through attachment to action.

But know tamas to be born of ignorance, bringing delusion upon all embodied beings; it binds, O Bhārata, through negligence, indolence, and sleep.

Overcoming rajas and tamas, sattva prevails, O Bhārata; likewise rajas prevails over sattva and tamas, and tamas prevails over sattva and rajas.
