Shri Purohit Swami

श्रीभगवान् बोले - रजोगुणसे उत्पन्न हुआ  यह काम ही क्रोध  है। यह बहुत खानेवाला और महापापी है। इस विषयमें तू इसको ही वैरी जान।

Swami Ramsukhdas

श्रीभगवान् ने कहा -- रजोगुण में उत्पन्न हुई यह 'कामना' है,  यही क्रोध है; यह महाशना (जिसकी भूख बड़ी हो) और महापापी है, इसे ही तुम यहाँ (इस जगत् में) शत्रु जानो।
