Bhagavad Gita 3.36

Arjuna asked, "My Lord, what is it that drives a person to sin, even against their will and as if by compulsion?"

अर्जुन उवाच
अथ केन प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः।
अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः॥

arjuna uvāca
atha kena prayukto'yaṃ pāpaṃ carati pūruṣaḥ|
anicchannapi vārṣṇeya balādiva niyojitaḥ||
