· Listen as I describe in detail the different kinds of Buddhi (intelligence) and Dhrtah (steadiness, firmness) by threefold Guņa.
· The Buddhi that knows
· pravŗttim (paths of activity)
· nivŗttim (paths of renunciation)
· kārya (what ought to be done)
· akārya (what ought not to be done)
· bhaya (what is fear)
· abhaya (what is fearlessness)
· bandham (what is bondage)
· moksam (what is liberation)
· is Sāttviki Buddhi
· The Buddhi that does not know perfectly
· dharma,
· adharma,
· karyam and
· akāryam
· is said to be Rājasi Buddhi
· The Buddhi which
· considers adharma to be dharma,
· thus covered by tamasah, and
· (deriving the) meaning of everything (sarva-arthān) in the opposite way (wrongly),
· is Tāmasi Buddhi.
