Translation

Hear now, O Dhananjay, the threefold distinction of intellect and of determination, according to the gunas, explained fully and separately.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

हे धनंजय! अब गुणों के अनुसार बुद्धि और धृति के भी तीन प्रकार के भेद को पूर्ण रूप से, अलग-अलग कहा जाता हुआ सुनो।

Commentary

After the doer, Krishna turns to two inner faculties: buddhi, the intellect that discerns and decides, and dhriti, the resolve that holds a course. Both can be clear or clouded, depending on the guna that shapes them.
