Paliwanag

Krishna now applies the three qualities to austerity. When this threefold tapas of body, speech and mind is practised with deep faith by disciplined people who do not seek reward, it is sattvic. Faith (śraddhā), discipline and freedom from desire for results recur throughout the chapter as the marks of sattva. The verse joins the ethical description just given with the chapter's analysis of motive, showing that even good practices can rise or fall in quality depending on the spirit behind them.
