### Bg 18.40

> न तदस्ति पृथिव्यां वा दिवि देवेषु वा पुनः ।\
> सत्त्वं प्रकृतिजैर्मुक्तं यदेभिः स्यात्त्रिभिर्गुणैः ॥४०॥

> na tad asti pṛthivyāṁ vā\
> divi deveṣu vā punaḥ\
> sattvaṁ prakṛti-jair muktaṁ\
> yad ebhiḥ syāt tribhir guṇaiḥ

*na*—not; *tat*—that; *asti*—there is; *pṛthivyām*—within the universe; *vā*—or; *divi*—in the higher planetary system; *deveṣu*—amongst the demigods; *vā*—or; *punaḥ*—again; *sattvam*—existence; *prakṛti-jaiḥ*—under the influence of material nature; *muktam*—liberated; *yat*—that; *ebhiḥ*—by this; *syāt*—so becomes; *tribhiḥ*—by three; *guṇaiḥ*—modes of material nature.

**There is no being existing, either here or among the demigods in the higher planetary systems, which is freed from the three modes of material nature.**

The Lord here summarizes the total influence of the three modes of material nature all over the universe.
