।।18.29।।हे धनञ्जय अब तू गुणोंके अनुसार बुद्धि और धृतिके भी तीन प्रकारके भेद अलगअलगरूपसे सुन? जो कि मेरे द्वारा पूर्णरूपसे कहे जा रहे हैं।
18.29 O Dhananjaya, srnu, listen; bhedam, to the classification; buddheh, of the intellect; ca eva, as also; the classification dhrteh, of fortitude; trividham, which is threefold; gunatah, according to the gunas, sattva etc. -this much is an apporistic statement-; procyamanam, while it is being stated; asesena, elaborately, just as it is, without omitting anything; and prthaktvena, severally. Arjuna is called Dhananjaya because, in the course of his expedition to coner all the qaurters. he won immense human and divine wealth (dhana).
18.29 Buddheh etc. Intellect : the faculty of resolving. Content : satisfaction. After having performed either good or wicked action, everyone, at the end, feels what is to be necessarily performed has been performed; so why furhter more ? Or else what could be the cause for [ones] retiring from that action ? Therefore in every one there is content. This is the meaning intended here. The word-meaning, that is not clearly known-that alone is certainly explained [hereinafter].
18.29 Buddhi is the knowledge in the form of discriminative determination. Dhrti is the resolution to hold on with perseverance to what has been undertaken even against all obstacles. Of these two, hear now the threefold division according to Sattva and other Gunas.
