When tamas, with qualities of lack of discrimination, obscuration and lack of endeavor, conquers rajas and sattva, a person becomes endowed with lamentation, illusion, violence, sleep and empty aspirations. When tamas, which has no discrimination, which obscures (layam) and is devoid of endeavor, conquers rajas and sattva, a person becomes endowed with lamentation, illusion and violence (from lack of discrimination), with sleep (from its obscuring nature) and vain hopes (from lack of endeavor). From later explanations it should be understood that these respective times also become endowed with these qualities. When all three guṇas are conquered by bhakti, one becomes endowed with the bliss of prema. This statement should also be placed here following the pattern of later statements in the chapter.
