Vāyu-deva said: “Hostility and treacherous aggression, deceit, crookedness, and pride; theft, violence, revulsion, torment, and sleepless wakefulness—these are named as rājasa dispositions.” In this ethical teaching, Vāyu identifies the inner impulses that agitate the mind, drive one toward harm and conflict, and keep a person restless; they are presented as qualities to be recognized and restrained on the path of dharma.
