But the constancy by which a man holds in mind, ever as things to be done, the objects of duty, pleasure, and wealth, dwelling on each in turn, and by which, on the occasion of dwelling on this or that one, he comes also to crave its fruit; the constancy of such a man, Partha, is of rajas.

The constancy by which a man who seeks the fruit holds, with surpassing attachment, duty, pleasure, and wealth; by the words 'duty, pleasure, and wealth' the workings of mind, breath, and senses that are their means are indicated; here too, in 'who seeks the fruit', by the word 'fruit', since it is rajasic, duty, pleasure, and wealth alone are meant; so the constancy by which a man holds the workings of mind and the rest with an eye to duty, pleasure, and wealth, that is rajasic. This is what is said.
