Now hear from Me, O scion of the Bharata dynasty, as regards the three kinds of joy: That in which one delights due to habit, and certainly attains the cessation of sorrows; [S. and S.S. take the second line of this verse along with the next verse referring to sattvika happiness.-Tr.]

Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara

Now hear from Me, O Arjuna, the threefold division of pleasure৷৷ that in which one rejoices through long practice and in which one comes to the end of pain.

Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja

O best among the Bharatas! Now, you must also listen to Me about the three-fold happiness, wherein one delights in practice and attains the end of suffering.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva

And now, O Arjuna, hear from Me of the threefold pleasure, in which one rejoices through practice and surely comes to the end of pain.

Hear further the three kinds of pleasure. That which increases day by day delivers one from misery.

Hear now from Me, best of the Bharatas, the threefold happiness, that is, fix your mind on it. The happiness in which, by practice, by long familiarity, by repetition, a man comes to rejoice, finds delight, and surely reaches the end of pain, the ceasing and quieting of pain.

All those told before, knowledge, action, the doer, and the rest, have happiness for the thing they are subordinate to; hear now the threefoldness, by quality, of that happiness. Hear of the happiness in which, by long practice, by stages, one reaches a surpassing delight, and comes to the end of pain, comes to the end of the whole pain of transmigration. He makes this precise.
