Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]Threefold is that faith born of the individual nature of the embodied — Sattvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic. Do thou hear of it.
BG 17.2
त्रिविधा भवति श्रद्धा देहिनां सा स्वभावजा । सात्त्विकी राजसी चैव तामसी चेति तां शृणु ॥
tri-vidhā bhavati śraddhā dehināṃ sā svabhāva-jā | sāttvikī rājasī caiva tāmasī ceti tāṃ śṛṇu ||
"Śraddhā of the embodied is threefold — born of svabhāva (one's own nature): sāttvikī, rājasī, tāmasī. Hear this."
