Translations by Teachers (आचार्यो द्वारा अनुवाद):

Swami Ramsukhdas (Hindi)

।।14.9।।हे भरतवंशोद्भव अर्जुन ! सत्त्वगुण सुखमें और रजोगुण कर्ममें लगाकर मनुष्यपर विजय करता है तथा तमोगुण ज्ञानको ढककर एवं प्रमादमें भी लगाकर मनुष्यपर विजंय करता है।

Swami Tejomayananda (Hindi)

।।14.9।। हे भारत ! सत्त्वगुण सुख में आसक्त कर देता है और रजोगुण कर्म में, किन्तु तमोगुण ज्ञान को आवृत्त करके जीव को प्रमाद से युक्त कर देता है।।
 

Swami Adidevananda (English)

Sattva generates attachment to pleasure, Rajas to action, O Arjuna. But Tamas, obscuring knowledge, generates attachment to negligence.

Swami Gambirananda (English)

O scion of the Bharata dynasty, sattva attaches one to happiness, rajas to action, while tamas, obscuring knowledge, leads to inadvertence as well.

Swami Sivananda (English)

Sattva attaches to happiness, Rajas to action, O Arjuna, while Tamas, verily shrouding knowledge, attaches to heedlessness.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)

O descendant of Bharata! The Sattva fully dominates the Embodied in the field of happiness; the Rajas in action; but the Tamas also totally dominates in the field of negligence, by veiling knowledge.

Shri Purohit Swami (English)

Purity brings happiness, passion brings commotion, and ignorance, which obscures wisdom, leads to a life of failure.
