BG 14.7 — Chapter 14 (The Three Modes of Nature), Verse 7, with Sanskrit, transliteration & translation.

रजो रागात्मकं विद्धि तृष्णासङ्गसमुद्भवम् | तन्निबध्नाति कौन्तेय कर्मसङ्गेन देहिनम् ||१४-७||

🕉

rajo rāgātmakaṃ viddhi tṛṣṇāsaṅgasamudbhavam . tannibadhnāti kaunteya karmasaṅgena dehinam ||14-7||

Roman: rajo ragatmakam viddhi trshnasangasamudbhavam . tannibadhnati kaunteya karmasangena dehinam

Know thou Rajas to be of the nature of passion, the source of thirst (for sensual enjoyment) and attachment; it binds fast, O Arjuna, the embodied one by attachment to action.
