25 (14), Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 18, Verse 25

अनुबन्धं क्षयं हिंसामनपेक्ष्य च पौरुषम् |

मोहादारभ्यते कर्म यतत्तामसमुच्यते ||

anubandhaṁ kṣhayaṁ hinsām anapekṣhya cha pauruṣham
mohād ārabhyate karma yat tat tāmasam uchyate

भावार्थ:

जो कर्म परिणाम, हानि, हिंसा और सामर्थ्य को न विचारकर केवल अज्ञान से आरंभ किया जाता है, वह तामस कहा जाता है॥25॥
