अप्रकाशोऽप्रवृत्तिश्च प्रमादो मोह एव च।
तमस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे कुरुनन्दन।।14.13।।
14.13 O descendant of the Kuru dynasty, when tamas predominates these surely [i.e. without exception.-M.S.] come into being: non-discrimination and inactivity, inadvertence and delusion.
14.13 Non-illumination is the absence of knowledge. Inactivity is immovableness. Negligence is inadvertence resulting in works that should not be done. Delusion is wrong knowledge. These arise when Tamas waxes strong. By these, one should know that the Tamas has increased very much.
