गुणान्नेनीयते
बुद्धिर्बुद्धिरेवेन्द्रियाण्यपि
।
मनःषष्ठानि
सर्वाणि

॥
English Translation
or The three qualities lead the understanding to worldly attachments. In this matter, the Understanding is identical with the Senses and the Mind. The Understanding, therefore, is identical with the six (the five senses and the mind), and also with the objects cognised by it. When, however, the Understanding is destroyed, the three qualities cannot produce action.
