11.25.19

edhamāne guṇe sattve devānāṃ balam edhate /
asurāṇāṃ ca rajasi tamasy uddhava rakṣasām //

19. When the quality of Satva is on the increase, the strength of the gods is enhanced; that of Asuras when Rajas prevails, and when Tamas prevails, grows the strength of Rakshasas. Then senses, as leading to Nivritti, Pravritti or delusion are spoken of as the gods, Asuras or Rakshasas; or the qualities of the presiding deities.
