Analysis of Tamas and its Marks
अभिष्वड्डस्तु कामेषु महामोह इति स्मृत: । ऋषयो मुनयो देवा मुहान्त्यत्र सुखेप्सव:
abhiṣvaḍḍas tu kāmeṣu mahāmoha iti smṛtaḥ | ṛṣayo munayo devā muhānty atra sukhepsavaḥ ||
حواسّی لذّتوں میں چمٹ جانا ہی ‘مہاموہ’ (عظیم فریب) کہا گیا ہے۔ اس فریب کے زیرِ اثر، جب لذّت کی طلب جاگتی ہے تو رِشی، مُنی اور دیوتا تک بھی حیرت و گمراہی میں پڑ جاتے ہیں۔

Educational Q&A
The verse defines “mahāmoha” as intense attachment to sense-pleasures and warns that the desire for enjoyment can bewilder even exalted beings; therefore vigilance and self-mastery are essential for dharmic living.
Vāyudeva is instructing the listener by characterizing a specific spiritual danger—attachment to pleasures—and emphasizing its power by noting that even ṛṣis, munis, and devas can be deluded when they pursue pleasure.
