सत्त्वानुरूपा सर्वस्य श्रद्धा भवति भारत | श्रद्धामयोऽयं पुरुषो यो यच्छ्रद्धः स एव सः
sattvānurūpā sarvasya śraddhā bhavati bhārata . śraddhāmayo.ayaṃ puruṣo yo yacchraddhaḥ sa eva saḥ
婆羅多族裔啊！一切眾生的信心都與其心性相符。此人由信心為主導因素所構成，其信為何，其人即為何。
O scion of the Bharata dynasty, the faith of all beings is in accordance with their minds. This person is made up of faith as the dominant factor. He is verily what his faith is.
每個人的信心都符合其內在本性或自然氣質。人充滿了信心。上一節中的「自性」（Svabhava）一詞與本節中的「心性」（Sattva）是同義詞。一個人的品格可以從他的信心來判斷。一個人的信心顯示了他的品格。一個人就是他的信心所塑造的。一個人在生活中的行為是由他的信心塑造或形成的。他的信心將表明他的堅定（Nishtha，即存在狀態、信念）。每個人的信心都根據其自然傾向或特定的習氣（Samskaras），即過去生中善惡行為的自我複製潛在印記。每個人的信心都從其存在的本質、氣質、傾向或習氣中獲得其色彩和品質。心性（Sattva）指本性、自然傾向，即具有特定傾向的心智。一切（Sarvasya）指每個有情眾生。人（Purusha）指被困於輪迴之中的個體靈魂，即被心智所限定的靈魂。由信所成（Sraddhamayah）指充滿信心，正如食身（Annamaya Kosa）充滿食物，喜樂身（Anandamaya Kosa）充滿喜樂一樣，內心（Antahkarana，即心智、智慧等）也充滿信心。人由其信心構成，其信為何，其人即為何。這個理論只是重複了第七章第20和23節以及第九章第25節所提出的理論。
The faith of every person conforms to his inherent nature or natural temperament. Man is imbued with faith. The term Svabhava is the last verse and the word Sattva in the present one are synonymous.A mans character may be judged by his faith. A mans faith shows what his character is. A man is what his faith has made him. A mans conduct in life is moulded or shaped by his faith. His faith will indicate his Nishtha (state of being? conviction). The faith of each man is according to his natural disposition or the specific tendencies or Samskaras or the selfreprodutive latent impressions of the good and bad actions which were performed in the past births. The faith of each man takes its colour and ality from the stuff of his being? his temperament? tendencies or Samskaras.Sattva Nature Natural disposition the mind with its specific tendencies.Each Every living being.Purusha Man The individual soul which is caught up in the wheel of transmigration the soul alified by mind.Sraddhamayah Full of faith Just as the Annamaya Kosa is full of food? just as the Anandamaya Kosa is full of bliss? so also the Antahkarana (mind? intellect? etc.) is full of faith.The man consists of his faith that which his faith is? he is verily that. This theory is only a repetition of the theory propounded in chapter VII? verses 20 and 23? and in chapter IX? verse 25.
