If the embodied one meets with death when Sattva is predominant, then he attains to the spotless worlds of the knowers of the Highest.

If the embodied one meets death when clarity is dominant, it attains the pure worlds of those who know the highest.

Krishna turns to what happens at death. If a person dies while clarity (sattva) is dominant, they go to the stainless worlds of those who know the highest. The verse reflects a view, found in many parts of Indian tradition, that one's state of mind at death shapes what follows. Since that state is formed by the habits of a lifetime, the teaching is less about the final moment than about the whole of life. Cultivating clarity now prepares for a good passage then. This is the first of three verses on where each quality leads.
