सर्वद्वारेषु देहेऽस्मिन्प्रकाश उपजायते । ज्ञानं यदा तदा विद्याद्विवृद्धं सत्त्वमित्युत॥६-३६-११॥
When illumination arises in this body through all its ‘gates’ (the senses), and when knowledge is present, then one should know that sattva has increased.
english translation
लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा । रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ॥६-३६-१२॥
Greed, outward-driven activity, the initiation of undertakings, restlessness, and craving—these arise when rajas has increased, O bull among the Bharatas.
english translation
अप्रकाशोऽप्रवृत्तिश्च प्रमादो मोह एव च । तमस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे कुरुनन्दन॥६-३६-१३॥
Lack of illumination, inactivity, negligence, and delusion—these arise when tamas has increased, O joy of the Kurus.
english translation
यदा सत्त्वे प्रवृद्धे तु प्रलयं याति देहभृत् । तदोत्तमविदां लोकानमलान्प्रतिपद्यते॥६-३६-१४॥
When an embodied being meets dissolution while sattva predominates, that one attains the stainless realms of those who possess the highest knowledge.
english translation
रजसि प्रलयं गत्वा कर्मसङ्गिषु जायते । तथा प्रलीनस्तमसि मूढयोनिषु जायते॥६-३६-१५॥
Having met dissolution while rajas predominates, one is born among those attached to action; likewise, one who dissolves in tamas is born among deluded states of embodiment.
