श्रीभगवानुवाच — काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः। महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम्॥
sri bhagavan uvacha — kama esha krodha esha rajoguna-samudbhavah mahaashano mahapapma viddhy enam iha vairinam
Translation
The Supreme Lord said: It is desire, it is anger, born of the quality of passion. It is all-devouring and sinful. Know this as the enemy here.
Commentary
Krishna identifies the root enemy: desire (kama) born of passion, which when frustrated becomes anger (krodha). Together they are the greatest enemies of wisdom and spiritual progress.
