रजस्तमश्चाभिभूय सत्त्वं भवति भारत। रजः सत्त्वं तमश्चैव तमः सत्त्वं रजस्तथा ॥

Sanskrit · IAST

rajastamaścābhibhūya sattvaṃ bhavati bhārata rajaḥ sattvaṃ tamaścaiva tamaḥ sattvaṃ rajastathā

Passion and darkness being repressed, goodness stands, O descendant of Bharata! Passion and goodness (being repressed), darkness and likewise darkness and goodness (being repressed) passion. When in this body at all portals light (that is to say) knowledge prevails then should one know goodness to be developed. Avarice, activity, performance of actions, want of tranquillity, desire, these are produced, O chief of the descendants of Bharata! when passion is developed.
