Rajo-guṇa-nirdeśa — Brahmā’s Enumeration of Rajasic Dispositions
दम्भो दर्पो5थ रागश्न भक्ति: प्रीति: प्रमोदनम् । द्यूतं च जनवादश्न सम्बन्धा: स्त्रीकृताश्न ये
vāyudeva uvāca | dambho darpo 'tha rāgaś ca bhaktiḥ prītiḥ pramodanam | dyūtaṃ ca janavādaś ca sambandhāḥ strīkṛtāś ca ye, vipragaṇa |
風神ヴァーユ（Vāyudeva）は言った。「偽りの体裁、驕慢、そして欲染。欲望に駆られた信愛（バクティ）、感官の対象への執着、身を甘やかす歓楽。賭博。人々の間の争いの言葉。さらに女のために縁を広げること——おお、婆羅門の会衆よ——これらはラジャス（rajas）の性質として数えられる。」

Educational Q&A
The verse classifies certain behaviors and mental tendencies—hypocrisy, pride, passion, pleasure-seeking, gambling, contentious speech, and woman-centered entanglements—as expressions of rajas, the agitating quality that fuels desire, restlessness, and ethically compromising conduct.
Vāyudeva is instructing a gathering of brāhmaṇas by enumerating traits that characterize the rajasic disposition, as part of a broader teaching that distinguishes dispositions (guṇas) and their moral-spiritual consequences.
