Bhagavad Gita 14.12

लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा।रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ॥

lobhaḥ pravṛttirārambhaḥ karmaṇāmaśamaḥ spṛhā |rajasyetāni jāyante vivṛddhe bharatarṣabha ||

Greed, activity, the undertaking of actions, restlessness, and longing—these arise when Rajas is predominant, O Arjuna.

O best of Indians! Avarice, the impulse to act, and the beginning of action itself are all due to the dominance of passion.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
