Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18.34

yayā tu dharma-kāmārthān

dhṛtyā dhārayate ’rjuna

prasańgena phalākāńkṣī

dhṛtiḥ sā pārtha rājasī

Translation

But that determination by which one holds fast to fruitive results in religion, economic development and sense gratification is of the nature of passion, O Arjuna.

Sri Ramanuja

18.34 That Dhrti by which a person who, desirous of fruits, i.e., through intense attachment holds fast to duty, desires, and wealth, is of the nature of Rajas. By the terms ‘Dharma-kam’artha,’ the activities of the mind, vital force and senses as a means for the attainment of Dharma (duty) Kama (pleasure) and Artha (wealth) are signified. Even in the expression, ‘One desirous of fruits,’ that term indicates duty, desire and wealth, on account of the Rajasika nature of the aspirant. Therefore, what is said amounts to this: the Dhrti by which one maintains activities of the mind etc., with the purpose of attaining duty; desire and wealth, is of the nature of Rajas.
