Now the seventeenth chapter: “The Yoga of Threefold Faith”
uktādhikāra-hetūnāṃ śraddhā mukhyā tu sāttvikī |
iti saptadaśe gauṇa-śraddhā-bhedas tridhocyate ||
atha saptadaśe vastu sāttvikaṃ rājasaṃ tathā |
tāmasaṃ ca vivicyoktaṃ pārtha-praśnottaraṃ yathā ||
sāttvikaṃ rājasaṃ vastu tāmasaṃ ca vivekataḥ |
kṛṣṇaḥ saptadaśe ‚vādīt pārtha-praśnānusārataḥ ||
