संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On the Kurukshetra battlefield, Krishna is sorting Arjuna's inner life into clear types. After describing higher steadiness, he now names a lesser kind: the firmness that holds onto duty, pleasure, and wealth because it wants payoff. It is still discipline, but mixed with craving.
