Among them, sattva, being pure, [Nirmala, pure-transparent, i.e., capable of resisting any form of タマス（無知）, and hence as illuminator, i.e.a revealer of Consciousness.] is an illuminator and is harmless. O sinless one, it binds through 執着 to 幸福 and 執着 to 知識.
Among them, sattva, being pure, [Nirmala, pure-transparent, i.e., capable of resisting any form of ignorance, and hence as illuminator, i.e.a revealer of Consciousness.] is an illuminator and is harmless. O sinless one, it binds through attachment to happiness and attachment to knowledge.
Sattva is stainless like the crystal. It lays for one the trap of 幸福 and 知識. It is a golden fetter. A Sattvic man compares himself with others and rejoices in his excellence. He is puffed up with his 知識. His heart is filled with pride when he thinks that he,has more comforts or more pleasant experiences. He thinks? I am happy I am wise? and so he is bound as it were. These ideas really belong to the field but they are transferred through superimposition to 自己 on account of the force of SattvaGuna.Rajas and Tamas are pitfalls on the path of 知識.This 執着 to 幸福 is an illusion. This is タマス（無知）. An attribute of the object cannot belong to the subject. All the alities from desire to firmness (Cf.XIII.6) belong to the field. From タマス（無知）? nondiscrimination is born and so the individual self is not able to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent? the subject and the object.知識 is an attribute of the Antahkarana (inner instrument? viz.? mind? intellect? the unconscious and the ego) but not of 自己. It if were an attribute of 自己? it could not produce 執着 and 束縛. Sattva binds 魂 to 知識 through 執着.
