O descendant of Bharata! Know tamas to be born from ignorance, deluding all embodied beings, that binds firmly through negligence, laziness, and sleep.

भगवद्गीता– अध्याय १४, श्लोक ८

तमस्त्वज्ञानजं विद्धि मोहनं सर्वदेहिनाम् |

प्रमादालस्यनिद्राभिस्तन्निबध्नाति भारत ||

अनुवाद: हे भरतवंशी! तमोगुण को अज्ञान से उत्पन्न जानो जो समस्त देहधारियों को मोहित करता है, तथा उन्हें प्रमाद, आलस्य और निद्रा के माध्यम से बांधता है।

O descendant of Bharata! Know tamas to be born from ignorance, deluding all embodied beings, that binds firmly through negligence, laziness, and sleep.
