muktasaṅgo.anahaṃvādī dhṛtyutsāhasamanvitaḥ . siddhyasiddhyornirvikāraḥ kartā sāttvika ucyate
جو کرنے والا (कर्ता) لگاؤ سے آزاد ہو، اہنکار سے مبرا ہو، صبر اور جوش سے بھرپور ہو، اور کامیابی و ناکامی میں غیر متاثر رہے، وہ ساتوک (ستو گن سے پیدا شدہ) کہلاتا ہے۔
[Ast. introduces this verse with 'Idanim kartrbhedah ucyate, Now is being stated the distinctions among the agents.'-Tr.] The agent who is free from attachment [Attachment to results or the idea of agentship.], not egotistic, endowed with fortitude and diligence, and unperturbed by success and failure is said to be possessed of sattva.
یہ شلوک ساتوک کرنے والے (कर्ता) کی وضاحت کرتا ہے۔ ایسا کرنے والا اپنے اعمال کے نتائج سے لگاؤ نہیں رکھتا اور نہ ہی خود کو فاعل سمجھتا ہے (بے اہنکار ہوتا ہے)۔ وہ غیر متزلزل عزم (صبر) اور جوش سے سرشار ہوتا ہے، اور کامیابی و ناکامی دونوں میں غیر متاثر رہتا ہے، ایک متوازن ذہنی حالت برقرار رکھتا ہے۔
A pure agent does his actions with his whole heart without feeling proud at the performance. He looks for the proper time and place and in accordance with the behests of the scriptures determines whether such actions are worth doing or not. He develops courage and a powerful will. He never seeks physical comforts. He is ite prepared to sacrifice his life for a noble cause. He is neither elated by success nor grieved by failure. He always keeps a balanced mind when he does any action. O Arjuna? that man is a pure agent who? while working? exhibits such alities.Siddhi Success attainment of the fruit of action performed.Nirvikarah Unaffected as having been urged to act merely by the authority of the scriptures? not by a desire for the sake of the reward.Now I will tell thee? O Arjuna? of the characteristics of a passionate agent.
