He who is resolute, patient, not subject to anger, free from malice and is not skillful in action from want of a selfish desire to reap its fruits and who is wise and forbearing, is said to be under the influence of Sattva.
प्रकाशबहुलो धीरो निर्विधित्सोऽनसूयकः। अक्रोधनो नरो धीमान् दान्तश्चैव स सात्त्विकः॥
