The Yoga of Liberation by Renunciation

Krishna explains the rajasic doer. 'Rāgī karma-phala-prepṣur lubdho hiṁsātmako 'śuciḥ'—passionate (rāgī), desiring fruits of action (karma-phala-prepṣuḥ), greedy (lubdhaḥ), of violent nature (hiṁsā-ātmakaḥ), impure (aśuciḥ). 'Harṣa-śokānvitaḥ kartā rājasaḥ parikīrtitaḥ'—full of (anvitaḥ) joy (harṣa) and sorrow (śoka), the doer (kartā) is declared (parikīrtitaḥ) to be rajasic (rājasaḥ). This is the rajasic doer: passionate, attached to fruits, greedy, potentially harmful, impure, and affected by joy and sorrow. This is the middle kind of doer: driven by rajas (passion), which creates attachment to results, greed, and emotional volatility. Unlike the sattvic doer (which is detached and balanced), the rajasic doer is attached to outcomes, driven by passion, and affected by emotions. This doer is bound by attachment to fruits and emotional reactions.
