23. ‘Ignorance, the merit or demerit of former actions, and desire are to be known as
the causes of mundane existence; he who abides in the midst of this triad does not

24. ‘From mistake, 1 egoism, confusion, fluctuation, indiscrimination, false means,
inordinate attachment, and gravitation.

25. ‘Now "mistake" acts in a contrary manner, it does wrongly what it should do, and
what it should think it thinks wrongly.

itīhaivamahakārastvanahakāra vartate || 12.26
26. “I say," "I know," "I go," "I am firmly fixed," it is thus that "egoism" shows itself
here, O thou who art free from all egoism.

mtpiḍavadasadeha sadehaḥ sa ihocyate || 12.27
27. ‘That state of mind is called "confusion," O thou who art all unconfused, which
views under one nature, massed like a lump of clay, objects that thus become confused
in their nature.
ya evāha sa eveda mano buddhiśca karma ca |
yaścaiva sa gaṇaḥ so ’hamiti yaḥ so ’bhisaplavaḥ || 12.28
28. ‘That state of mind which says that this mind, intellect, and these actions are the
same as "I," and that which says that all this aggregate is the same as "I," — is called
"fluctuation."
