यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम् | अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्

然而，那种将单一形式视为全部，不合逻辑，不关注真理，且微不足道的知识，被宣称为源自暗性（Tamas）。
But that (knowledge) is said to be born of tamas which is confined to one form as though it were all, which is irrational, not concern with truth and triivial.
这种认为每一个物体或众生都独立存在并自身完美的知识，是暗性（Tamasic）的。单一效应：例如将身体视为自我，或将偶像视为神，并认为没有比这更高的存在。裸体耆那教徒认为，居住在身体中的灵魂与身体的大小相同。有些人认为自在主（Isvara）只是一块石头或木头。这种知识并非真正基于理性。它无法看清事物的真相。它狭隘（Alpam），因为它不以理性为基础。它也产生非常小的结果。它覆盖的范围有限，并非包罗万象。这种知识被称为暗性（Tamasic）的，因为它存在于缺乏辨别力的暗性之人身上。
The knowledge which regards that each and every object or being exists by itself and is perfect by itself? is Tamasic.One single effect Such as the body? thinking it to be the Self? or an idol? taking it for God? and thinking that there is nothing higher than that.The naked Jains consider that the soul which dwells in the body is of the same size as that of the body. Some regard that Isvara is a mere piece of stone or wood. Such knowledge is really not based on reason. It does not see things in their true light. It is narrow (Alpam) as it is not founded on reason. It produces very small results too. It extends over a limited area and is not allcomprehensive. This knowledge is said to be Tamasic? as it is found in Tamasic persons who are devoid of the power of discrimination.
