دوسری طرف، تَمَس کو جہالت سے پیدا ہونے والا جانو، جو تمام جسم دھارنے والوں کو فریب دیتا ہے۔ اے بھارَت کی نسل کے، یہ غفلت، سستی اور نیند کے ذریعے باندھتا ہے۔
On the other hand, know tamas, which deludes all embodied beings, to be born of ignorance. O scion of the Bharata dynasty, that binds through inadvertence, laziness and sleep.
تَمَس ایک ایسی پابند قوت ہے جو سستی، کاہلی اور احمقانہ اعمال کی طرف مائل کرتی ہے۔ یہ جہالت سے پیدا ہوتا ہے اور تمام جسم دھارنے والوں کو فریب دیتا ہے۔ تَمَسی شخص میں فیصلے کی قوت نہیں ہوتی، اس کے حواس کند ہوتے ہیں، اور وہ غفلت، سستی اور حد سے زیادہ نیند کے ذریعے بندھا رہتا ہے۔ یہ روحانی ترقی میں ایک بڑی رکاوٹ ہے۔
Tamas is that binding force with a tendency to lethargy? sloth and foolish actions. It causes delusion or nondiscrimination. It binds him who associates the Self with the body. A Tamasic man acts under the compulsion of the wants of the body. He has no power of judgment. Troubled by the wants of the body he acts under pressure to keep himself alive. His actions are not guided by reason. They are on the plane of instinct. His senses are dull. He becomes infatuated and stupefied. He has no inclination to work. He yawns much. He sleeps too much. He always wants to sleep. He nevr knows when and how to act? what? to whom and how to talk. He takes delight in following the wrong path. He does not know how to behave or how to address others. He is thoughtless and ignorant. He forgets everything. He is negligent and indolent. He is just in a stage higher than lifeless matter.He who is under the grip of heedlessness (Pramada) is not able to discriminate between the eternal and the noneternal. This is an enemy of illumination? the effect of Sattva. He who is overpowered by laziness (Alasya) is not able to exert. This is an enemy of Pravritti? the effect of Rajas. Sleep (Nidra) is LayaVritti? (a state of absorption into ignorance) which is dependent on Tamas. This is the enemy of the works done by Sattva and Rajas.
