Shankaracharya's commentary, trans. Alladi Mahadeva Sastry (1897)
[1]There is no being on earth, or again in heaven among the Devas, that can be free from these three guṇas born of Prakriti.
BG 18.40
न तद् अस्ति पृथिव्यां वा दिवि देवेषु वा पुनः । सत्त्वं प्रकृतिजैर् मुक्तं यद् एभिः स्यात् त्रिभिर् गुणैः ॥
na tad asti pṛthivyāṃ vā divi deveṣu vā punaḥ | sattvaṃ prakṛtijair muktaṃ yad ebhiḥ syāt tribhir guṇaiḥ ||
"No being — neither on earth nor among the devas in heaven — is free from these three guṇas born of Prakṛti."
