English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
18.29. You must listen [from Me] to the three-fold division of the intellect and also of content both being expounded completely and individually,  [by Me] basing on the Strands, O Dhananjaya !


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
18.29 Buddheh etc.  Intellect :  the faculty of resolving.  Content :  satisfaction.  After having performed either good or wicked action, everyone, at the end, feels  what is to be necessarily performed  has been performed;  so why furhter more ?  Or else what could be the cause for [ones]  retiring from that action ? Therefore in every one there is content.  This is the meaning intended here.  The word-meaning, that is not clearly known-that alone is certainly explained [hereinafter].
