Rajo-guṇa-nirdeśa — Brahmā’s Enumeration of Rajasic Dispositions
अस्मिल्लोके प्रमोदन््ते जायमाना: पुनः पुन: । प्रेत्य भाविकमीहन्ते ऐहलौकिकमेव च । ददति प्रतिगृह्नन्ति तर्पयन्त्यथ जुह्गमति
asmi loke pramodante j1yam1n1 puna puna | pretya bh1vikam 2bhante aihalaukikam eva ca | dadati pratigh nanti tarpayanty atha juhvati ||
風神ヴァーユデーヴァは言った。「この世において、そのような者たちは幾度も生まれ変わり、そのたびに歓び、感官の対象から生じる快楽に没入する。死後においても、彼らは起こると想い描く事柄のために奔走し、ただ世俗の利得のみを追う。ゆえに欲を動機として、施しをなし、施しを受け、タルパナ（tarpana）の満足儀礼と、ヤジュニャ（yajña）の供犠を執り行うのである。」

Educational Q&A
Desire-driven religiosity keeps one revolving in repeated births: when charity, receiving gifts, and ritual acts are performed for personal enjoyment and worldly/otherworldly reward, they remain bound to sense-pleasure and its consequences rather than moving toward liberation-oriented dharma.
V1yudeva is describing a class of people who repeatedly take birth and pursue pleasure; even their religious actionsgiving, accepting gifts, ancestor-satiation rites, and fire-sacrificesare undertaken with a reward-seeking motive aimed at happiness in this world and the next.
