śloka 37
śrībhagavānuvāca |
kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajoguṇasamudbhavaḥ |
mahāśano mahāpāpmā viddhyenamiha vairiṇam ||3-37||
Translation
Shri Bhagavan said: It is desire (kama) born of the quality of Rajas; it is anger itself; it is the great devourer (mahashana) and the great sinner (mahapapi). Know this alone as the enemy here (in this world).
