Sāṃkhya–Yoga Clarification
रागद्वेषाभिभूतं च नरं द्रव्यवशानुगम् । मोहजाता रतिराम समुपैति नराधिप,नरेश्वर! राग और द्वेषके वशीभूत होकर जब मनुष्य द्रव्यमें आसक्त हो जाता है, तब मोहकी कन्या रति उसके पास आ जाती है
rāgadveṣābhibhūtaṃ ca naraṃ dravyavaśānugam | mohajātā ratir āma samupaiti narādhipa ||
ହେ ନରାଧିପ! ରାଗ ଓ ଦ୍ୱେଷରେ ଅଭିଭୂତ ହୋଇ ଯେତେବେଳେ ମନୁଷ୍ୟ ଧନର ବଶରେ ପଡ଼ି ତାହାରେ ଆସକ୍ତ ହୁଏ, ସେତେବେଳେ ମୋହଜାତ ରତି ତାଙ୍କ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସିପହଞ୍ଚେ—ଏବଂ ତାଙ୍କୁ ଆହୁରି ଦୃଢ଼ଭାବେ ଆସକ୍ତି ଓ ଭୋଗରେ ବାନ୍ଧି ଦିଏ।

Educational Q&A
Attachment (rāga) and aversion (dveṣa), when joined with fixation on wealth (dravya), generate delusion (moha) and invite pleasure-addiction (rati). The ethical warning is that material obsession weakens discernment and self-mastery, leading to further bondage.
Parāśara is instructing a king, describing an inner moral-psychological sequence: a person dominated by rāga and dveṣa becomes wealth-driven, and then ‘Rati, born of Moha’ approaches—i.e., sensual fascination takes hold as a consequence of delusion.
