भावार्थ:

हे अर्जुन! सत्त्वगुण, रजोगुण और तमोगुण -ये प्रकृति से उत्पन्न तीनों गुण अविनाशी जीवात्मा को शरीर में बाँधते हैं॥5

Translation

O mighty-armed Arjun, the material energy consists of three guṇas (modes)—sattva (goodness), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance). These modes bind the eternal soul to the perishable body.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
