यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम् | अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्

但那種執著於單一作用，彷彿它是整體，且無理由、無真實義基礎、微不足道的知識，被宣稱為惰性（Tamasic）的。
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.
那種認為每個對象或眾生都獨立存在並自身圓滿的知識，是惰性（Tamasic）的。單一作用（One single effect），例如將身體視為真我（Self），或將偶像視為神，並認為沒有比這更高的存在。裸體耆那教徒認為，居住在身體中的靈魂與身體大小相同。有些人認為伊濕伐羅（Īśvara）僅僅是一塊石頭或木頭。這樣的知識實際上並非基於理性。它無法如實地看待事物。它是狹隘的（Alpam），因為它沒有建立在理性之上。它也產生非常微小的結果。它涵蓋的範圍有限，並非包羅萬象。這種知識被稱為惰性（Tamasic）的，因為它存在於缺乏辨別力的惰性（Tamasic）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.
