‘That Act is called Tāmasa which, in daring, is undertaken from delusion, heedless of issues, loss and hurt.’
Issues (anubandha) = the pain etc., which is a necessary concomitant of work.
Loss (kshaya) is the expenditure of money (etc.,) accruing from performing a work.
Hurt (himsā) = injury (trouble, annoyance, pain etc.,) that a work subjects creatures to.
Daring (paurusha) = the boast of the person to be able to carry a work on to completion.
A work done in such a heedless manner, from delusion (moha) or ignorance of the real Actor-ship of Paramapurusha, is called Tāmasa.
