The Principle of Greatness, which is the twenty-fifth, if it regards that body of sixteen portions called the Unmanifest, has to assume it repeatedly. On account of not knowing. That which is stainless and pure, and for its devotion to what is the outcome of a combination of both Pure and Impure, the Soul, which is, in reality, pure, becomes, O king, Impure. Indeed, on account of its devotion to ignorance, Individual soul though characterised by Knowledge, becomes repeatedly associated with Ignorance.
तदेव षोडशकलं देहमव्यक्तसंज्ञकम्। ममायमिति मन्वानस्तत्रैव परिवर्तते॥ पञ्चविंशो महानात्मा तस्यैवाप्रतिबोधनात्। विमलस्य विशुद्धस्य शुद्धाशुद्धनिषेवणात्॥ अशुद्ध एव शुद्धात्मा तादृग् भवति पार्थिव। अबुद्धसेवनाच्चापि बुद्धोऽऽप्यबुद्धतां व्रजेत्॥
