Rajo-guṇa-nirdeśa — Brahmā’s Enumeration of Rajasic Dispositions
दम्भो दर्पो5थ रागश्न भक्ति: प्रीति: प्रमोदनम् । द्यूतं च जनवादश्न सम्बन्धा: स्त्रीकृताश्न ये
vāyudeva uvāca | dambho darpo 'tha rāgaś ca bhaktiḥ prītiḥ pramodanam | dyūtaṃ ca janavādaś ca sambandhāḥ strīkṛtāś ca ye, vipragaṇa |
风神（Vāyudeva）说道：“虚伪矫饰、傲慢自负与贪欲之染；为欲望所驱的奉爱（bhakti）、对感官境界的执著与放纵自乐；赌博；人群中的争辩恶语；以及为女色之故而经营交往——噢，婆罗门大众啊——这一切都被列为罗阇斯（rajas，激动之性）的品相。”

Educational Q&A
The verse classifies certain behaviors and mental tendencies—hypocrisy, pride, passion, pleasure-seeking, gambling, contentious speech, and woman-centered entanglements—as expressions of rajas, the agitating quality that fuels desire, restlessness, and ethically compromising conduct.
Vāyudeva is instructing a gathering of brāhmaṇas by enumerating traits that characterize the rajasic disposition, as part of a broader teaching that distinguishes dispositions (guṇas) and their moral-spiritual consequences.
