Passionate, desiring to obtain the reward of actions, greedy, cruel, impure, moved by joy and sorrow, such an agent is said to be Rajasic (passionate).

Passionate, eager for the fruits of action, greedy, violent by nature, impure, swept by joy and sorrow: such a doer is declared rajasic.

The rajasic doer is full of attachment and craves the fruits of action. He is greedy, inclined to harm others, impure, and tossed between elation and grief. The list describes someone whose actions are driven by wanting and whose moods rise and fall with every result. Such a person may be very active, but the activity binds rather than frees. The verse shows how passion (rajas) shapes not only what is done but the whole emotional life of the doer.
