Commentary

Greed' is the unwillingness to share one's own resources. 'Activity' is [in this case] the tendency to be active without any definite useful purpose. 'Undertaking of projects' refers to endeavours undertaken for the achievement of specific goals. 'Restlessness' is incessant desire for sensual stimulation, 'craving' is the desire for possessing objects.

aprakāśo’pravṛttiśca pramādo moha eva ca |
tamasyetāni jāyante vivṛddhe kuru-nandana || 13 ||

13. Non-illumination, inactivity, negligence and even delusion — these arise, O Arjuna (Joy-ofthe-
Kurus), when Tamas prevails.
