Translation

Translation

But action performed with great effort by one seeking to gratify his desires, and enacted from a sense of false ego, is called action in the mode of passion.

Kuid suurte jõupingutustega oma soovide rahuldamiseks sooritatud tegevust, mille ajendiks on vale ego, nimetatakse tegevuseks kire guṇas.
