In this shloka, Lord Krishna outlines the Symptoms of increased Rajas Guna (the mode of passion). He lists five key Characteristics: lobhah (greed), pravrttih (exertion/activity), arambhah karmanam (undertaking of works), asamah (restlessness), and sprha (intense desire). This analysis presents Rajas as the Agitation of the soul. When Rajas is vivrddhe (increased), the individual becomes Bound to the material world through a Thirst for more. Lobha is the Hunger that is never satisfied. Pravrttih is the Compulsion to always be doing something, even if it has no Value. The most striking symptom is asamah—the lack of Peace. A person in Rajas is like a Storm, constantly moving but never reaching a Destination. The analysis shows that sprha is the Longing for objects of the senses, which Entraps the soul in a cycle of effort and exhaustion. In a religious sense, this shloka serves as a Warning against Materialism. It explains why modern life, with its focus on Productivity and Acquisition, often leads to a Void. Krishna addresses Arjuna as Bharatarsabha (Best of the Bharatas), Reminding him that his current Agitation is a symptom of this mode. This verse provides the Diagnostic for the Fever of the mind. By Recognizing these symptoms, a seeker can Detach from the impulse to act impulsively. The detailed interpretation emphasizes that Rajas Blurs the vision of the soul with Ambition. It suggests that as long as one is driven by sprha (craving), they are Slaves to the material world. Thus, this shloka acts as a Mirror, showing the soul the Cost of its Attachments.
