पृथक्त्वेन तु यज्ज्ञानं नानाभावान्पृथग्विधान् | वेत्ति सर्वेषु भूतेषु तज्ज्ञानं विद्धि राजसम्
pṛthaktvena tu yajjñānaṃ nānābhāvānpṛthagvidhān . vetti sarveṣu bhūteṣu tajjñānaṃ viddhi rājasam
但當知，那種在一切眾生中，將各種不同的實體視為彼此相異的知識，是變性（Rajasic）的。
But know that knowledge to be originating from rajas which, amidst all things, apprehends the different entities of various kinds as distinct [As possessing distinct selves.].
這種將知識視為行動者的說法，應解釋為「藉由知識而看見」。實體（Entities）指真我或靈魂。彼此相異（Different from one another）指將它們視為在不同身體中是不同的。那種受分離觀念引導的知識是充滿激情的。它以分離的帷幕籠罩著多樣的創造界，甚至迷惑了智者。由於變性（Rajasic）的知識，眾生顯得是分離的，對統一性的感知也隨之喪失。那種在被創造的對象中看見多樣性，並根據其形式和大小將其區分為小或大的知識，是變性（Rajasic）的、被污染的。一個擁有變性（Rajasic）知識的人，處處看見多樣性，他只看見眾多。現在，阿周那（Arjuna）啊，我將向你解釋屬於黑暗特質的知識，以便你能避免它。
Knowledge which sees As knowledge cannot be an agent? this should be interpreted to mean knowledge by which one sees.Entities Selves or souls.Different from one another Regarding them as different in different bodies.The knowledge that is led by the idea of separateness is passionate. Enveloping as it does the manifold creation with the veil of separateness? it deludes even the wise man. Owing to passionate knowledge? beings appear to be separate and the perception of unity is also lost sight of. That knowledge which beholds multiplicity in created objects and differentiates them as being small or great? according to their form and size? is of passionate nature and tainted. A man with passionate knowledge sees diversity everywhere. He beholds the many only.Now I will explain to thee? O Arjuna? knowledge that is of the ality of darkness? in order that thou mayest avoid it.
