Adhyāya 199: Karma–Jñāna Causality and the Nirguṇa Brahman
Manu’s Instruction
स तैजसेन भावेन यदि तत्र रमत्युत । गुणांस्तेषां समाधत्ते रागेण प्रतिमोहितः,यदि वह जापक तैजस् शरीरसे उन लोकोंमें रमण करता है तो रागसे मोहित होकर उनके गुणोंको अपने भीतर धारण कर लेता है
sa taijasena bhāvena yadi tatra ramati uta | guṇāṁs teṣāṁ samādhatte rāgeṇa pratimoḥitaḥ ||
もし彼が、光輝ある（微細で火のような）在り方のままそれらの界に遊楽するなら、執着（ラ―ガ）に惑わされて、そこに住む者たちの性質を自らの内に取り込み、身につけてしまう。

Educational Q&A
Attachment (rāga) is not merely an emotion; it reshapes character. When one delights in a realm or experience while deluded by craving, one internalizes its guṇas—acquiring corresponding tendencies and dispositions—thereby binding oneself further.
Virūpa explains a psychological-spiritual mechanism: a person, moving or existing in a taijasa (subtle, luminous) condition, becomes enamored of certain worlds/experiences; due to attachment, he assimilates their qualities, implying continued conditioning rather than liberation.
