भीष्मविक्रमदर्शनं तथा क्रौञ्चारुणव्यूहविधानम् | Bhīṣma’s Ascendancy and the Organization of the Krauñcāruṇa Formation
यदग्रे चानुबन्धे च सुखं मोहनमात्मन: । निद्रालस्यप्रमादोत्थं तत्तामसमुदाह्तम्,जो सुख भोगकालमें तथा परिणाममें भी आत्माको मोहित करनेवाला है, वह निद्रा, आलस्य और प्रमादसे उत्पन्न सुखःई तामस कहा गया है
yad agre cānubandhe ca sukhaṁ mohanam ātmanaḥ | nidrālasyapramādotthaṁ tat tāmasam udāhṛtam ||
ଯେ ସୁଖ ଆରମ୍ଭରେ ଓ ପରିଣାମରେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଆତ୍ମାକୁ ମୋହିତ କରେ, ଏବଂ ନିଦ୍ରା, ଆଳସ୍ୟ ଓ ପ୍ରମାଦରୁ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ହୁଏ—ତାହାକୁ ତାମସ ସୁଖ ବୋଲି କୁହାଯାଇଛି।

Educational Q&A
Pleasure that begins and ends in delusion—born of sleep, laziness, and heedlessness—is tāmasic; it undermines clarity and ethical responsibility, so it should be recognized and restrained.
In the teaching on the three guṇas and their effects, the speaker classifies kinds of happiness; here, the verse identifies the tamasic form as the comfort of inertia and negligence that clouds judgment.
