Bhagavad Gita 14.5

सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति गुणाः प्रकृतिसंभवाः।निबध्नन्ति महाबाहो देहे देहिनमव्ययम्॥

sattvaṃ rajastama iti guṇāḥ prakṛtisaṃbhavāḥ |nibadhnanti mahābāho dehe dehinamavyayam ||

These qualities, O Arjuna, born of Nature, bind fast in the body of the embodied, the indestructible: purity, passion, and inertia.

Purity, passion, and ignorance are the qualities that the law of nature brings forth. They fetter the free spirit in all beings.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
