The doer who is passionate, who craves the fruit of action, that is, who is set on its fruit; greedy, athirst for others' goods, or unwilling to part with his own wealth even at a place of pilgrimage; given to injury, by nature one who hurts others; impure, lacking both outer and inner purity; swept by joy and grief, joy when he gains the wished for, grief when he gains the unwished for or loses the wished for, and likewise joy and grief at the success or failure of his action; such a doer is called of rajas.

Passionate, desirous of fame; craving the fruit of action, seeking the fruit of action; greedy, of the nature of not spending the substance that the action asks for; given to injury, doing the action by paining others; impure, lacking the purity the action asks for; swept by joy and grief, in action such as war joined with joy and grief at the success or failure, victory and the rest; such a doer is declared to be rajasic.
