Hear now the threefold division of understanding (buddhi) and of constancy (dhrti) according to the qualities, sattva and the rest, told fully, without remainder, and separately, by way of discernment, Dhananjaya. He won, in his conquest of the quarters, abundant wealth both human and divine, and so is called Dhananjaya, the winner of wealth.

Understanding is knowledge in the form of certainty preceded by discernment; constancy is the power of holding firm even at the befalling of an obstacle to a begun act; hear, as they truly are, the threefold difference of those two, by the qualities sattva and the rest, told to you by way of their separateness.
