· Now hear from me, the three kinds of Sukham (Joy, happiness),
· in which one enjoys by practice,
· also attains the end of duhkha.
· That which
· in the beginning is like vişam (poison) but at the end is like amŗta,
· and which is ātma-buddhi-prāsada-jam (borne by the blessings of one's own Self intelligence)
· is said to be Sāttvika Sukham.
· That Sukham
· which is derived from the combination of sense and sense-objects,
· which appears like amŗta in the beginning and vişam at the end.
· is Rājasam Sukham.
· That Sukha
· which deludes the ātmanaḥ (mind) in the beginning and also in the end,
· produced of
- nidrā,
- ālasya,
- pramāda
· is said to be Tāmasah Sukham.
