But that, O Arjuna, by which one holds fast to Dharma (duty), enjoyment of pleasures, and earning of wealth, on account of attachment and desire for reward—that firmness, O Arjuna, is Rajasic (passionate).

Swami Sivananda

But, O Partha, the steadfastness with which one holds on to righteousness, covetable things, and wealth, desiring their fruits as the occasion for each arises, that steadfastness is born of rajas.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

That dhṛti, O Arjuna, by which one, who is desirous of fruits, longs for them with intense attachment and holds fast to duty, desire, and wealth—that dhṛti is rajasika.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

O Arjuna! The contentment by which one restrains one's bounden duty, pleasure, and wealth, and consequently desires the fruits of action—that contentment is of the Rajas strand, O son of Prtha!

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

The conviction that always holds fast to rituals, self-interest, and wealth for the sake of what they may bring forth comes from passion.

Shri Purohit Swami

हे पृथानन्दन अर्जुन ! फलकी इच्छावाला मनुष्य जिस धृतिके द्वारा धर्म, काम (भोग) और अर्थको अत्यन्त आसक्तिपूर्वक धारण करता है, वह धृति राजसी है।

Swami Ramsukhdas

हे पृथापुत्र अर्जुन ! कर्मफल का इच्छुक पुरुष अति आसक्ति (प्रसंग) से जिस धृति के द्वारा धर्म, अर्थ और काम (इन तीन पुरुषार्थों) को धारण करता है, वह धृति राजसी है।

Swami Tejomayananda
