गुणभेदेन क्रियाणां कारकाणां च त्रिविधो भेदः उक्तः । अथ इदानीं फलस्य सुखस्य त्रिविधो भेदः उच्यते —
सुखं तु इदानीं त्रिविधं शृणु, समाधानं कुरु इत्येतत् , मे मम भरतर्षभ । अभ्यासात् परिचयात् आवृत्तेः रमते रतिं प्रतिपद्यते यत्र यस्मिन् सुखानुभवे दुःखान्तं च दुःखावसानं दुःखोपशमं च निगच्छति निश्चयेन प्राप्नोति ॥ ३६ ॥
In plain words
The threefold division of actions, and of everything that brings an action about, has already been given — sorted by which guṇa rules. Now the fruit itself, happiness, is divided the same three ways —
Now hear about the three kinds of happiness — 'give me your full attention', that is what 'listen' really means here — from me, best of the Bharatas. Through practice — through sheer familiarity, through doing it again and again — a person comes to delight in something, comes to feel real pleasure in it, and in that very experience of happiness he arrives, without fail, at the end of sorrow: its cessation, its quieting down.
