। ॥ २६ ॥
In plain words
Śraddhā is trusting the scripture and your teacher's word as true, right down in your bones. The wise call this faith — and it's this faith that lets you actually reach the Real.
Close to the Sanskrit
The firm holding of scripture and the teacher's word, with the conviction that they are true — that is declared by the good to be śraddhā (faith), by which the Reality is apprehended.
