दैवी ह्येषा गुणमयी मम माया दुरत्यया | मामेव ये प्रपद्यन्ते मायामेतां तरन्ति ते
daivī hyeṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā . māmeva ye prapadyante māyāmetāṃ taranti te
因為我這由古納（Guna）構成的神聖「幻象」（Maya）難以逾越，所以唯有那些皈依我的人，才能超越此幻象。
Since this divine Maya of Mine which is constituted by the gunas is difficult to cross over, (therefore) those who take refuge in Me alone cross over this Maya.
「幻象」（Maya）是自在天（Isvara）的「限定」（Upadhi）或「因果身」（Karana Sarira），它是這個宇宙的物質因。它內在於主，由三種德性（古納, Guna），即薩埵（Sattva）、羅闍（Rajas）和答磨（Tamas）構成。那些在捨棄一切形式宗教（達磨, Dharma）後，完全奉獻於主的人，就能超越這個迷惑眾生的幻象，獲得解脫（Moksha）。自在天是幻象的主宰，他對幻象有完美的掌控。「無明」（Avidya）是「個體靈魂」（Jiva）的限定。個體靈魂是無明的奴隸。無明是一層帷幕，將個體靈魂與「實智樂梵」（Satchidananda Brahman），即存在-知識-至樂的絕對實相隔開。當自性（Atman）知識的曙光升起，帷幕被移除時，個體靈魂便失去了其作為個體靈魂的特性，而與梵（Brahman）合一。
Maya is the Upadhi or the causal body (Karana Sarira) of Isvara. It is the material cause of this universe. It is inherent in the Lord. It is constituted of the three alities? viz.? Sattva? Rajas and Tamas. Those who completely devote themselves to the Lord alone after renouncing all formal religion (Dharma) cross over this illusion which deludes all beings. They attain liberation or Moksha.Isvara is the Lord of Maya (illusion). He has perfect control over it. Avidya is the Upadhi (limiting adjunct) of the Jiva (individual soul). The Jiva is a slave of this ignorance. Ignorance is the veil that has screened the Jiva from Satchidananda Brahman or the ExistenceKnowledgeBliss Absolute. When the veil is removed by the dawn of knowledge of the Self the Jiva loses his characteras a Jiva or an individual soul and becomes identical with Brahman. (Cf.XV.3and4)
