Vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, absence of hatred, absence of pride these belong to the one born for a divine state, O Arjuna.

vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, freedom from malice and from excessive pride: these belong to one born to the divine endowment, Bharata.

The third verse of the list adds vigour or radiance (tejas), forgiveness, fortitude (dhṛti), cleanliness, freedom from malice, and the absence of excessive pride. Krishna then names the whole group as the marks of one born to the divine endowment. The word born suggests that these traits are part of a person's nature, yet the Gita elsewhere shows that nature can be shaped by practice. The list as a whole forms a portrait of a balanced person, energetic and patient, strong and humble.
