हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 14.17)
।।14.17।।सत्त्वगुणसे ज्ञान और रजोगुणसे लोभ आदि ही उत्पन्न होते हैं तमोगुणसे प्रमाद? मोह एवं अज्ञान भी उत्पन्न होता है।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The cause of the variation in results is being stated by Lord  Krishna  that
from sattva guna or mode of  goodness  arises  liminousity  the  results  of
which are knowledge and happiness. From raja guna or  the  mode  of  passion
arises desires the results which are greed and suffering. From tama guna  or
the mode of ignorance comes illusion in the form of madness and delusion.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary



Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

What Lord Krishna is stating about those situated  in  sattva  guna  or  the
mode of goodness increase their wisdom  to  fruition  then  atma  tattva  or
realisation of the immortal soul becomes a reality. When raja  guna  or  the
mode of passion increases in intensity more  and  more  avid  appetites  are
incited to enjoy the fruits of. Similarly when tama  guna  or  the  mode  of
ignorance  increases  it  manifests  as  perverted  understanding  and   the
proclivity to be influenced by wickedness from which more and more  tama  is
begotten. Thus all developement of intelligence is blocked and neutralised.
