Sattva, rajas, tamas, these qualities arisen from nature,
Bind, O great-armed one, the imperishable embodied in the body.
Source: Milind S. Pandit
Sattva or goodness, Rajas or activity, and Tamas or inertia; these three Gunas (or states) of mind (or Prakriti) bind the imperishable soul to the body, O Arjuna.
Material nature consists of the three modes--goodness, passion and ignorance. When the living entity comes in contact with nature, he becomes conditioned by these modes.
