O son of Pṛthā, that understanding by which one knows what ought to be done and what ought not to be done, what is to be feared and what is not to be feared, what is binding and what is liberating, is in the mode of goodness.
L’intelligence qui permet de déterminer ce qu’il convient de faire ou de ne pas faire, de discerner entre ce qui est à craindre et ce qui ne l’est pas, ce qui enchaîne et ce qui libère, cette intelligence, ô fils de Pṛthā, participe de la vertu.

Performing actions in terms of the directions of the scriptures is called pravṛtti, or executing actions that deserve to be performed. And actions which are not so directed are not to be performed. One who does not know the scriptural directions becomes entangled in the actions and reactions of work. Understanding which discriminates by intelligence is situated in the mode of goodness.
Les actes accomplis conformément aux préceptes scripturaires sont qualifiés de pravṛttis (dignes d’être accomplis), au contraire de ceux que proscrivent les Écritures. Celui qui ignore les instructions scripturaires se prend dans l’engrenage de l’acte et de ses effets consécutifs. L’intelligence discriminatrice participe de la vertu.
