काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुण समुध्भवः
महाशनो महापाप्मा विध्येनमिह वैरिणं
kama yesha krodha yesha rajoguna samudhbhavaha
mahashano mahapapma vidhyenamiha vairinam
एष - this
काम - Desire
क्रोध - Anger
रजोगुण समुध्भवः - A state, which prevents the mind from being peacful and satvik, one which prevents the mind from being in TAMASIK state (a state of rest, slumber, inactivity).
Rajoguna is a state which aids the mind to churn, move like a wave, restless state.
This Kama and Krodha prevents the mind to exist in either satvik or tamasik state, and pushes one to a state of Rajoguna, which is a state of constant churn of mind.
Though Lord Krishna uses the word Kama and Krodha, he used the word समुध्भवः, which as per sanskrit grammer is singular.
Hence it should be undesrstood that Krodha is the off shoot of kama.
When Lord Krishna uses the word Kama, he is actually referring to both Kama and Krodha.
When Kama (desire) is not fulfilled, it gives raise to Krodha.
Any issue which poses an hindrance to our desire, leads to hatred towards that enitity.
The same rule applies to PARA DHARMA. (other dharma).
When we are desirous of going to (practicing) another dharma, we develop hatred towards SWADHARMA.
That is why Arjuna opted to leave his Dharma and opted to practice PARA DHARMA.
Adi Shankara uses the word “PRATIHATAM”. PRatihatam means knocking against something and rebounding.
In 2-62, Lord Krishna uses the word कमात्क्रोधो अभिजायते.
Krodha is born out of desire.
In 16-21, he uses the word कामः क्रोधः तथा लोभः.
Here he propounds the theory it in one(Kama), two(Krodha) but three(Lobha/Greed)
There fore Kama, Kridha and Lobha, prods us towards PAPA(sin)
The result is SAMSARA.
The worst of the SAMASARA is NARAKA.
Lord Krishna, propunds further
त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनं आत्मनः
There are three doors (ways) to Naraka Vasam.
KAMA, KRODHA and LOBHA.
What is Lobha?
Lobha is also another variety of desire.
The desire to hold on to something, is lobha.
The desire to live on your own, understanding yourself is defined in Upanishads as “ATMA KAMAM) आत्म कामं.
It is for this reason, many SAINTS, though leading a life of recluse, work for LOKA KSHEMA.
