Jājali’s Austerities and the Summons to Tulādhāra (जाजलि–तुलाधार-इतिहासः)
अद्वारेण तमेवार्थ द्वौ दोषावुपजीवत: । तत्र बुद्धिहहिं दुर्धर्षा मन: सामान्यमश्लुते,रजोगुण और तमोगुण--ये दो दोष निषिद्धमार्गके द्वारा उस विषय-सुखका आश्रय लेते हैं। वहाँ बुद्धि दुर्धर्ष होनेपर भी मनके साथ रहनेसे उसीके समान हो जाती है
advāreṇa tam evārthaṃ dvau doṣāv upajīvataḥ | tatra buddhir api durdharṣā manaḥ-sāmānyam aśnute |
ヴィヤーサは言った。ラジャスとタマスという二つの過失は、禁じられた道という不正の「門」からその対象の快へ入り込み、それを糧として生きる。そこでは、本来は屈しがたいブッディ（buddhi、識別知）でさえ、マナスと交わり続ければ心と同じものになってしまう。
व्यास उवाच
Educational Q&A
Rajas and tamas sustain themselves by leading one toward objects of enjoyment through prohibited or unwholesome means; when the intellect associates with the restless mind instead of governing it, even strong discrimination becomes ‘ordinary’—it loses clarity and follows desire and inertia.
In the didactic discourse of Śānti Parva, Vyāsa explains an inner moral psychology: how lower guṇas (rajas and tamas) exploit the pursuit of pleasure, and how buddhi can be degraded when it aligns with manas rather than restraining and guiding it.
