यत्किंचिदिह वै लोके सर्वमेष्वेव तत्त्रिषु ।
त्रयो गुणाः प्रवर्तन्ते अव्यक्ता नित्यमेव तु ।
सत्त्वं रजस्तमश्चैव गुणसर्गः सनातनः ॥२१॥

21. yatkiṁcidiha vai loke sarvameṣveva tattriṣu ,
trayo guṇāḥ pravartante avyaktā nityameva tu ,
sattvaṁ rajastamaścaiva guṇasargaḥ sanātanaḥ.

21. yat kiñcit iha vai loke sarvam eṣu eva
tat triṣu | trayaḥ guṇāḥ pravartante
avyaktā nityam eva tu | sattvam rajaḥ
tamaḥ ca eva guṇa-sargaḥ sanātanaḥ

21. Whatever exists here in the world, all of that is indeed contained within these three. The three qualities (guṇas) constantly operate, and the unmanifest (prakṛti) itself is always present. Sattva, rajas, and tamas – this creation of qualities is eternal.
