अर्जुन उवाच | कैर्लिङ्गैस्त्रीन्गुणानेतानतीतो भवति प्रभो | किमाचारः कथं चैतांस्त्रीन्गुणानतिवर्तते
arjuna uvāca . kairliṅgaistrīnguṇānetānatīto bhavati prabho . kimācāraḥ kathaṃ caitāṃstrīnguṇānativartate
阿周那（Arjuna）说：主啊（Prabhu），超越这三古纳（Guna）者有何特征？他的行为举止如何？他又如何超越这三古纳（Guna）呢？
Arjuna said O Lord, by what signs is one (known) who has gone beyond these three alities? What is his behaviour, and how does he transcend these three alities?
阿周那（Arjuna）说：“主啊，超越三古纳（Gunas）的人，凭什么特征可以被识别？那位超越三古纳（Gunas）的圣者（Trigunatita）行为举止如何？他又是如何超越世间，凌驾于古纳（Gunas）之上的呢？请告诉我。”这些是超越古纳（Gunas）的圣者的特征，其他人也应培养这些品质。正如国王能够消除仆人的不满和痛苦，主也能够消除祂奉献者的痛苦。这就是阿周那（Arjuna）称呼克里希那（Krishna）为主，并使用“Prabhu”一词的原因。通过使用这个词，阿周那（Arjuna）暗示主唯有祂能够解除他的痛苦和磨难。（参见第二章第54节）
Arjuna said O Lord? by what characteristics may a man be recognised as having gone beyond the three alities What is the behaviour of that Trigunatita sage (one who has gone beyond the three alities) and how does he go beyond the world and is above the Gunas Tell me that.These are the characteristics of the sage who has gone beyond the Gunas others should cultivate them.Just as a king is able to remove the grievances and sorrows of his servants? so also the Lord is able to remove the sorrows of His devotees. That is the reason why Arjuna addresses Sri Krishna as Lord and uses the term Prabhu. By using this word? Arjuna hinted to the Lord that He alone was capable of relieving his sorrows and pains. (Cf.II.54)
