यत्तु कामेप्सुना कर्म साहङ्कारेण वा पुनः।
क्रियते बहुलायासं तद्राजसमुदाहृतम्।।18.24।।
।।18.24।। और जो कर्म बहुत परिश्रम से युक्त है तथा फल की कामना वाले? अहंकारयुक्त पुरुष के द्वारा किया जाता है? वह कर्म राजस कहा गया है।।
Continuing Lord Krishna affirms that actions done to acquire rewards and which are escorted with conceit and attended by ahankarena or egoism, thinking that one is the actual doer and desirous of everyone to know and which is accomplished only after great endeavour and expenditure of effort is of the nature of raja guna the mode of passion.
