dānaṁ pratigrahaś caiva prāyaścittāni maṅgalam | idaṁ me syād idaṁ me syāt sneho guṇasamudbhavaḥ ||
Vāyu said: “Gifts, accepting gifts, acts of expiation, and even auspicious rites—when performed with a view to personal gain—are counted as ‘rajasika’. The longing that thinks, ‘May this be mine; may that be mine,’ the clinging desire that arises toward objects in order to obtain them, is born of the quality of rajas.”
