Bhagavad Gita 14.7

रजो रागात्मकं विद्धि तृष्णासङ्गसमुद्भवम्।तन्निबध्नाति कौन्तेय कर्मसङ्गेन देहिनम्॥

rajo rāgātmakaṃ viddhi tṛṣṇāsaṅgasamudbhavam |tannibadhnāti kaunteya karmasaṅgena dehinam ||

Know, O Arjuna, that Rajas is of the nature of passion, the source of thirst and attachment; it binds fast the embodied one by attachment to action.

Passion, engendered by thirst for pleasure and attachment, binds the soul through its fondness for activities.

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