Swami Adidevananda (English)

But he who knows the truth about the division of the Gunas and works, O mighty-armed one, through his knowledge that the Gunas ‘operate on their own products,’ is not attached.

Swami Gambirananda (English)

But, O mighty-armed one, the one who is a knower of the facts about the varieties of the gunas and actions does not become attached, thinking thus: ‘The organs act on the objects of the organs.’

Swami Sivananda (English)

But he who knows the Truth, O mighty-armed Arjuna, about the divisions of the qualities and their functions, knowing that the Gunas, as senses, move amidst the Gunas, as the sense-objects, is not attached.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)

But, O mighty-armed one, the one who knows the true nature of the strands and their respective divisions of work, realizes: ‘The strands are in their respective purposes.’ And thus, he is not attached.

Shri Purohit Swami (English)

But he, O Mighty One, who correctly understands the relationship between the Qualities and action, is not attached to the act, for he perceives that it is merely the action and reaction of the Qualities among themselves.
