Mūla — the verse
Gita Press numberingTranslation
Swami Gambhīrānanda · follows Śaṅkara-bhāṣyaO Arjuna, the Vedas [Meaning only the portion dealing with rites and duties (karma-kanda).] have the three qualities as their object. You become free from worldliness, free from the pairs of duality, ever-poised in the quality of sattva, without (desire for) acquisition and protection, and self-collected.
हिन्दी अनुवाद — Swami Tejomayānanda
हे अर्जुन वेदों का विषय तीन गुणों से सम्बन्धित (संसार से) है तुम त्रिगुणातीत? निर्द्वन्द्व? नित्य सत्त्व (शुद्धता) में स्थित? योगक्षेम से रहित और आत्मवान् बनो।।

from Q&A with KnAṚk, Yajus and Sāman are the three Vedas referred to here. There is also a fourth, the Atharvaṇa Veda, less popular in those times owing to the esoteric nature of much that it treats. It remains less famous than its three brothers, and is even wrongly notorious for its occult sections. In fact it is not exclusively occult, and is not so different from the others; it deals more directly with human civilisation than with the godly prayers and yajñas found elsewhere.
