सत्त्वं ज्ञानं तमो ऽअज्ञानं रागद्वेषौ रजः स्मृतम् । एतद् व्याप्तिमद् एतेषां सर्वभूताश्रितं वपुः ॥
sattvaṃ jñānaṃ tamo 'ajñānaṃ rāga.dveṣau rajaḥ smṛtam | etad vyāptimad eteṣāṃ sarvabhūtāśritaṃ vapuḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Goodness is declared (to have the form of) knowledge, Darkness (of) ignorance, Activity (of) love and hatred; such is the nature of these (three) which is (all-)pervading and clings to everything created.. When (man) experiences in his soul a (feeling) full of bliss, a deep calm, as it were, and a pure light, then let him know (that it is) among those three (the quality called) Goodness.
