Rajo-guṇa-nirdeśa — Brahmā’s Enumeration of Rajasic Dispositions
सनन््तापो रूपमायास: सुखदु:खे हिमातपौ । ऐश्वर्य विग्रह: संधिहेतुवादो5रति: क्षमा
sanantāpo rūpam āyāsaḥ sukhaduḥkhe himātapau | aiśvarya-vigrahaḥ sandhi-hetu-vādo 'ratiḥ kṣamā ||
ヴァーユ神は言った。「絶え間ない苦悩、身体の形、労苦、快と不快、寒さと暑さ。権勢と財にまつわる争い、和平と和解の因をめぐる論争。不満、そしてまた忍耐——これらは、身を受けた生を形づくる諸々の状態と気質の一部である。」
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse catalogs the dualities and pressures of embodied existence—pleasure/pain, cold/heat, toil, and the social turbulence of power and conflict—while highlighting kṣamā (forbearance) as a stabilizing ethical response amid inevitable agitation and dispute.
Vāyu-deva is speaking in a didactic mode, enumerating key experiences and tendencies that characterize worldly life and social interaction, including conflict over sovereignty and debates about making peace, thereby setting an ethical frame for how one should endure and respond.
