Simple Translation
Oh son of kunthI! The word sath is said to be indicating “an entity which exists” and “a good entity”. In the same manner, the word “sath” is even used to indicate worldly actions which are auspicious.
Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam
‘In the sense of existence and of goodness, the word SAT is used. SAT is likewise used, Pārtha! in relation to auspicious events.’
Sad-bhāve = In the sense of Existence.
Sādhu-bhāve = In the sense of Goodness.
This is the sense in which SAT is used in all things, concerning the world and the Vedas.
Similarly, it is used in relation to any auspicious worldly event undertaken by any person, by calling such an event, ‘a good event’ (sat-karma).
