The word ï1Satï1 is used in the sense of reality and of goodness; and so also, O Arjuna, the word ï1Satï1 is used in the sense of an auspicious act.

The word Sat is used in the sense of reality and of goodness, and likewise, son of Pritha, the word Sat is used for a praiseworthy deed.

The third word, Sat, carries several meanings. It is used for reality or existence, for goodness, and for any praiseworthy action. Krishna draws on this richness: what is real, what is good and what is worthy of praise are joined in one word.
