(26) Who is not Attached; who does not say: 'I' or "mine"; who is not mentally) moved, (both) when the work is successful and when it is not successful ; (and) who (nevertheless) performs Action, being embued with enthusiasm and perseverence, he is called (a) sättvika (Doer); (27) who is attached to objects of sense, (and) avaricious ; who is filled with joy or sorrow on the success or failure respectively of Action); who entertains the desire for obtaining the Fruit of Action ; who is harmful and impure, such a Doer is called rajasa; (28) who is sayukta' (that is, with an unsteady Reason), ignorant, proud, a cheater, 'naiskrtika' (that is, one who deprives others of their goods); who is idle, dirgha-sūtri (that is, difficult to get rid of; or, who takes a month to do what is ordinarily done in an hour), such a Doer is called tāmasa,

The Blessed Lord now applies this description of the three-fold development of the universe to Reason. (buddhi), Steadfastness (dhrti), and Happiness (sukha). The word 'buddhi' in these stanzas has to be taken to mean.
