That by which one wrongly understands dharma and adharma, and also what ought to be done and what ought not to be done—that intellect, O Arjuna, is rajasic (passionate).

Swami Sivananda

O Partha, that intellect is born of rajas with which one wrongly understands virtue and vice, as well as what ought to be done and ought not to be done.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

The Buddhi that gives an erroneous knowledge of Dharma and Adharma (its opposite) and also of what should be done and what should not be done, O Arjuna, is Rajasic.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

The intellect, by means of which one decides incorrectly between the righteous and the unrighteous, and what is a proper action and an improper one—that intellect is of the Rajas, O son of Prtha!

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

The intellect that does not understand what is right and wrong, and what should be done and not done, is under the sway of Passion.

Shri Purohit Swami

हे पार्थ ! मनुष्य जिसके द्वारा धर्म और अधर्मको, कर्तव्य और अकर्तव्यको भी ठीक तरहसे नहीं जानता, वह बुद्धि राजसी है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

हे पार्थ ! जिस बुद्धि के द्वारा मनुष्य धर्म और अधर्म को तथा कर्तव्य और अकर्तव्य को यथावत् नहीं जानता है, वह बुद्धि राजसी है।

Swami Tejomayananda
