<< Chapter 17 Verse 25

Simple

sad-bhāve sādhu-bhāve ca
sad ity etat prayujyate
praśaste karmaṇi tathā
sac-chabdaḥ pārtha yujyate

‘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).
