Rāja-Vidyā Rāja-Guhya Yoga (राजविद्या राजगुह्य योग) — The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret
बल॑ बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम् | धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामो5स्मि भरतर्षभ
balaṁ balavatāṁ cāhaṁ kāma-rāga-vivarjitam | dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha ||
Ako ang lakas ng malalakas—lakas na malaya sa pagnanasa at pagkakapit. O dakilang toro ng angkan ng Bharata, sa lahat ng nilalang Ako ang pagnanasa (kāma) na hindi sumasalungat sa dharma: pagnanasang kaayon ng tama at pinahihintulutan ng banal na batas.

Power and desire are not condemned in themselves; they become spiritually and ethically valid when purified of attachment (rāga) and craving (kāma as compulsive lust) and when aligned with dharma. The verse affirms disciplined strength and dharma-consistent desire as expressions of the divine.
In the Gītā’s revelation of divine manifestations, Krishna identifies himself as the pure strength in the strong and as desire that accords with dharma among beings, guiding Arjuna to distinguish righteous motivation from passion-driven impulse amid the pressures of war.
