यत्रात्मबिम्ब: प्रतिबिम्वतः सन्

प्रकाशयत्यकं इवाखिलं जडम् ॥ ११७ ॥
117. Pure sattva is (clear) like water, yet in conjunc
tion with rajas and tamas it makes for transmigration.
The reality of the Atman becomes reflected in sativa and
like the sun reveals the entire world of matter.
• मिश्रस्य सत्त्वस्य भवन्ति धर्मा-
स्त्वमानिताद्या नियमा यमाद्याः ।
श्रद्धा च भक्तिश्च मुमुक्षुता च
दैवी च सम्पत्तिरसन्निवृत्तिः ॥ ११८ ॥

The traits of mixed sattva are an utter absencel
of pride etc., and Niyama, 2 Yama, 3 etc., as well as faith,
devotion, yearning for liberation, the divine tendencies4

विशुद्धसत्त्वस्य गुणाः प्रसादः
स्वात्मानुभूतिः परमा प्रशान्तिः ।
तृप्ति: प्रहर्षः परमात्मनिष्ठा
यया सदानन्दरसं समृच्छति ॥ ११९ ॥
