17.3
सत्त्वानुरूपा सर्वस्य श्रद्धा भवति भारत ।
श्रद्धामयोऽयं पुरुषो यो यच्छ्रद्धः स एव सः ॥
సత్త్వానురూపా సర్వస్య శ్రద్ధా భవతి భారత ।
శ్రద్ధామయోఽయం పురుషో యో యచ్ఛ్రద్ధః స ఏవ సః ॥
sattvānurūpā sarvasya śraddhā bhavati bhārata |
śraddhāmayo’yaṃ puruṣo yo yacchraddhaḥ sa eva saḥ ||
About chapter 17
Arjuna asks about those who worship with faith but without following scripture. Krishna explains that faith takes the colour of one’s nature — sattvic, rajasic or tamasic — and shows how the same three qualities appear in food, sacrifice, austerity and charity. He closes with the meaning of “Om Tat Sat”, which sanctifies every act of worship.
