Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The dhrita or determination whereby a jiva or embodied being  due  to  acute
lack of intelligence is unable to abandon sleep, fear, grief, dejection  and
delusion is declared by Lord Krishna as situated in tama guna  the  mode  of
ignorance.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

One  who  exhibits  dhriti  or   determination   yet   follows   dharma   or
righteousness in a haphazard way sometimes adhering and  sometimes  opposing
is situated in raja guna the mode of passion and one who is so deluded  that
they are unable to discriminate between what is real  and  what  is  unreal,
what is appropriate and what is inappropriate and  what  is  beneficial  and
what is detrimental is situated in tama guna or  mode  of  ignorance.  Fear,
lamentation and dejection which are the indication of delusion  are  the  by
products. Exclusive loving devotion to the Supreme Lord is known  as  bhakti
and is situated exclusively in sattva guna the  mode  of  goodness.  Because
bhakti is transcendental and not mundane it is virtuous and  blissful.  What
is recommended by the Vaisnavas, saintly sages and learned elderly as  well
as  what  is  prescribed  in  the  Vedic  scriptures  is  always  considered
undeniably to be situated in sattva guna and whatever is  done  contrary  to
this is in raja guna and whatever repudiates this  in  tama  guna.  This  is
well corroborated in the Bhagavat Purana. The Padma Purana  states  that  by
the grace of the  Supreme  Lord  one  becomes  internally  elated  and  such
elation becomes luminous.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The  word  svapnam  means  slumber  inferring  slothfulness.  Madam  is  the
delusion of enjoying sense objects. The dharmedah or unintelligent fools  do
not oppose their mind from allowing their senses to buffet then  hither  and
thither  in  pursuit  of  sense  gratification.  They  even  sanction   such
treatment to satisfy their desires. The terms  bhayam  or  dread,  sokam  or
grief and nisadam or dejection are the by  products  of  this  delusion  and
those who occupy their time and energy  and  waste  their  invaluable  human
life as such Lord Krishna confirms are indispensably situated in tama  guna.
