قال فايُو: «الملازمةُ وحُسنُ الإصغاء على وجه الطاعة، والخدمةُ، والعطشُ إلى الشهوات، والاتكالُ على الآخرين، وترتيبُ الخطط، والمسايرةُ السياسية، والغفلةُ، والوشايةُ، ونَهَمُ الاقتناء—هذه ميولٌ تُقيّد الإنسان وتُبعِده عن الثبات في الدارما.»

V
Vāyudeva

Educational Q&A

The verse lists behaviors and mental tendencies—craving, dependence, negligence, slander, and grasping—that undermine ethical steadiness. It cautions that even socially praised acts like service or political skill can become binding when driven by attachment, ambition, or lack of discernment.

Vāyudeva is speaking and enumerating a set of traits to be recognized and restrained. The tone is admonitory and diagnostic, as part of a broader instruction on right conduct and the inner causes of moral decline.
