The Threefold Division of Agents

mukta saṅgo’nahaṃvādī dhṛty-utsāha-samanvitaḥ |
siddhy-asiddhyor nirvikāraḥ kartā sātvika ucyate || 26 ||

26. An agent who is free from attachment, and self-acclaim, who is endowed with perseverance
and enthusiasm and is unaffected by success and failure, is said to be Sattvic.

Commentary

Free from self-acclaim (an-ahamvādi) means one does not have the feeling of being the agent. Perseverance is the attribute of enduring until the completion, any suffering that is collateral in the work undertaken.
