Significance of Three modes

The Three modes have varying interpretations across different philosophies. In Jainism, they denote categories of self-control for those who are well-renounced and truthful. In Vaishnavism, they represent the three fundamental qualities of material nature: goodness (sattva), passion (rajas), and ignorance (tamas), which influence behavior and existence. Additionally, Purana describes the Three modes in terms of the methods for reciting the Gayatri mantra, with specified counts of repetitions.
