नियतं सङ्गरहितमरागद्वेषतः कृतम् | अफलप्रेप्सुना कर्म यत्तत्सात्त्विकमुच्यते
niyataṃ saṅgarahitamarāgadveṣataḥ kṛtam . aphalaprepsunā karma yattatsāttvikamucyate
那種由不渴望果報者，無執著、無愛憎地執行，且為規定之義務的行為，被宣稱為悅性（Sattvic）的。
The daily obligatory action which is performed without attachment and without likes or dislikes by one who does not hanker for rewards, that is said to be born of sattva.
規定（Niyatam）指義務的。人不會因愛或恨而激動地執行義務行為。這是一種純粹的行為。執行這種純粹行為的人會體驗到巨大的喜悅。他全心全意地履行職責或任何其他工作，不求回報，而是樂意將其奉獻於主足下。他按照經典的指示行事。現在，阿周那（Arjuna）啊，我將向你解釋變性（Rajasic）或激情行為的本質。請你專心聆聽我的教誨。
Niyatam Ordained Obligatory. One is not excited to perform an obligatory action through love or hatred.This is a pure act. The performer of such pure action experiences great joy. He does his duty or any other work wholeheartedly not caring for the reward but offering it willingly at the feet of the Lord. He works in accordancw with the dictates of the scriptures. Now I will explain to thee? O Arjuna? the nature of action which is Rajasic or passionate. Do thou listen to Me with rapt attention.
