Adhyaya 47 — Bharata-varsha
अष्टमोऽनुग्रहः सर्गः सात्त्विकस्तामसश्च सः ।
पञ्चैते वैकृताः सर्गाः प्राकृतास्तु त्रयः स्मृताः ॥
aṣṭamo 'nugrahaḥ sargaḥ sāttvikastāmasaśca saḥ / pañcaite vaikṛtāḥ sargāḥ prākṛtāstu trayaḥ smṛtāḥ
ਅੱਠਵੀਂ ‘ਅਨੁਗ੍ਰਹ’ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀ ਹੈ; ਉਹ ਸਾਤ੍ਤਵਿਕ ਵੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਤਾਮਸ ਵੀ। ਇਹ ਪੰਜ ਵੈਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀਆਂ ਹਨ, ਜਦਕਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਕ੍ਰਿਤ ਸ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਟੀਆਂ ਤਿੰਨ ਮੰਨੀਆਂ ਗਈਆਂ ਹਨ।

Even ‘grace’ in the world appears through guṇas; outcomes can elevate (sattva) or bind (tamas). The ethical implication is to cultivate sattva so that anugraha is received/expressed as clarity rather than inertia.
Sarga: it explicitly summarizes the prākṛta (3) and vaikṛta (5) groupings within the ninefold scheme.
The pairing of sāttvika and tāmasa within anugraha hints that ‘help’ or ‘boons’ can function either as liberation-aids or as further entanglements, depending on the recipient’s guṇa-condition.
