Bhagavad Gita · Moksha Sannyasa YogaChapter 18, Shloka 19 (18.19)
Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
ज्ञानं कर्म च कर्ता च त्रिधैव गुणभेदतः
प्रोच्यते गुणसङ्ख्याने यथावच्छृणु तान्यपि
॥ 18.19 ॥
jñānaṃ karma ca kartā ca tridhaiva guṇabhedataḥ
procyate guṇasaṅkhyāne yathāvacchṛṇu tānyapi
Translation
"In the science of the gunas (guna-sankhyana), knowledge, action and the doer are each said to be of three kinds, according to the gunas; hear of them too, as they are."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. guṇavyatiriktajātyantarābhāvapradarśanārthaṃ — "eva" shows that there is no other distinction apart from the gunas.
Acharya Ramanuja. guṇasaṃkhyāne guṇakāryagaṇane.
