1.2.23

sattvaṃ rajastama iti prakṛterguṇāstair yuktaḥ paramapuruṣa eka ihāsya dhatte /
sthityādaye hariviriñcihareti saṃjñāḥ śreyāṃsi tatra khalu sattvatanornṛṇāṃ syuḥ //

23. Satva, Rajas and Tamas are the qualities (modes) of Prakriti: the Supreme person who acts with them, is (but) one (in the world); for the purposes of creation, preservation and destruction, the one Supreme Being bears the names of Hari, Virinchi and Hara; but of these, men may indeed reap their blessings from the Satvic form of the Lord (i.e., from Vasudeva.)
