Anuvaad
Arjuna ne kaha: "He Prabhu, in teeno gunon ko paar kar chuka vyakti kin lakshanon se pehchaana jaata hai? Uska aachaar kaisa hota hai? Aur woh in teeno gunon ko kaise paar karta hai?"

Shankaracharya. kaiḥ liṅgaiḥ cihnaiḥ; kaḥ asya ācāraḥ; kena ca prakāreṇa … guṇān ativartate.

Shreedhar Swami. Arjun ke teen prashn pehchaante hain: guṇātītasya lakṣaṇam ācāraṃ guṇātyayopāyaṃ ca samyag bubhutsuḥ — gunaateet ke lakshan, uska aacharan, aur gunon ko paar karne ka upaay.
