But the resolve by which a person holds to duty, pleasure and wealth, O Arjuna, clinging to them and craving their rewards — that resolve, O son of Pritha, is rajasic.
Explanation
Krishna is describing three kinds of resolve (dhṛti), the steadiness that holds a person to their aims. Here he describes the passionate (rājasī) kind, tied to the three worldly aims of duty (dharma), pleasure (kāma) and wealth (artha). Such a person holds to them out of attachment (prasaṅga) and a craving for results. This kind of resolve is driven by desire for gain, which makes it different from the steady sattvic resolve in the previous verse.
