The translator’s English as printed (K. T. Telang). The original-language text is not held; names are romanised as the translator printed them.
1 See Sanatsugattya, p. 146. See also p. 309 supra.
2 See Gita, p. 102 seq. 3 Le. he who knows the Kshetra.
4 Enlightenment, activity, and delusion, Nîlakaṇṭha.
5 Le. do not know the self, Nîlakaṇṭha; better, I think, ‘the qualities do not know themselves, only the Kshetragña knows them.’ Cf. Santi Parvan (Moksha Dharma), chap. 194, st. 41.
6 I.e. production, existence, and destruction, Nîlakaṇṭha. This must, however, mean their manifestation, continuance, and dissolution in any particular form. For the prakṛiti, which is made up of the three qualities, is beginningless. Cf. Gita, p. 104.
7 J.e. the actual physical manifestations, as we may say, of the qualities.
8 The original, sattva, Nîlakaṇṭha renders by buddhi, and qualities by visible objects. In the familiar Sankhya phrase sattvapurushânyatâpratyaya sattva means creation, or what is other than purusha (cf. Sankhyatattvakaumudf, pp. 9-144). That is the meaning here. See too p. 371 infra, and Santi Parvan (Moksha Dharma), chap. 194, st. 38 seq. and comments there.

2 See Gita, p. 102 seq. 3 I.e. he who knows the Kshetra.
4 Enlightenment, activity, and delusion, Nîlakaṇṭha.
5 That is, do not know the self, according to Nîlakaṇṭha; better, I think, 'the qualities do not know themselves — only the Kshetrajña knows them.' Cf. Santi Parvan (Moksha Dharma), chap. 194, st. 41.
6 That is, production, existence, and destruction, according to Nîlakaṇṭha. This must, however, mean their manifestation, continuance, and dissolution in any particular form, since the prakṛiti, which is made up of the three qualities, is beginningless. Cf. Gita, p. 104.

8 Nîlakaṇṭha glosses "the original" as buddhi and "qualities" as visible objects. In the familiar Sânkhya phrase sattvapurushânyatâpratyaya, sattva means creation, or that which is other than purusha (cf. Sânkhyatattvakaumudî, pp. 9–144). That is the sense here. See also p. 371 below, and Sânti Parvan (Moksha Dharma), chap. 194, st. 38 seq. and the comments there.
