Explication

Krishna announces a long classification. In the science of the qualities, here called guṇa-saṅkhyāna, knowledge, action and the doer are each said to be of three kinds according to the qualities. He asks Arjuna to listen as these are described accurately. The method mirrors the previous chapter, which applied the qualities to faith, food, sacrifice, austerity and giving. Now the analysis reaches the inner faculties and the agent himself.
