सद्भावे साधुभावे च सदित्येतत्प्रयुज्यते ।प्रशस्ते कर्मणि तथा सच्छब्दः पार्थ युज्यते ॥

sadbhāve sādhubhāve ca sad ity etat prayujyate |praśaste karmaṇi tathā sacchabdaḥ pārtha yujyate ||

सद्भावे · sadbhāve
in the sense of being, reality
साधुभावे · sādhubhāve
in the sense of goodness
सत् · sat
Sat (the Real, the Good)
प्रयुज्यते · prayujyate
is used
प्रशस्ते · praśaste
in praiseworthy, auspicious
सच्छब्दः · sacchabdaḥ
the word Sat
पार्थ · pārtha
O Partha
युज्यते · yujyate
is applied

'Sat' is used in the sense of being and of goodness, O Partha — and the word Sat is applied to any praiseworthy deed.

Original plain-language translation

Sat gathers two meanings: what truly is and what is truly good — being and value as one. Calling a deed sat blesses it as real in the deepest sense. Language itself becomes a quiet teacher of non-duality.
