Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]When a man dwells on objects with his mind, attachment for them is produced. From attachment springs desire; from desire comes anger.
BG 2.62
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते । सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
dhyāyato viṣayān puṃsaḥ saṅgas teṣūpajāyate | saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho 'bhijāyate ||
"Thinking → clinging → craving → anger. The chain of suffering begins in where you let your mind dwell."
