Erläuterung
Tamasic steadiness is the stubbornness by which a dull-minded person refuses to give up sleep, fear, grief, despondency and arrogance. This is persistence in the wrong direction, a firm grip on what weakens and darkens the mind. The verse shows that steadiness is not always a virtue; one can cling with great tenacity to habits that cause suffering. Grief and despondency in the list recall Arjuna's state at the beginning of the dialogue.
