नाहं प्रकाशः सर्वस्य योगमायासमावृतः | मूढोऽयं नाभिजानाति लोको मामजमव्ययम्
nāhaṃ prakāśaḥ sarvasya yogamāyāsamāvṛtaḥ . mūḍho.ayaṃ nābhijānāti loko māmajamavyayam
我被「瑜伽摩耶」（Yoga-Maya）所籠罩，並非對所有人顯現。這被迷惑的世人，不認識我這無生無滅者。
Being enveloped by yoga-maya, I do not become manifest to all. This deluded world does not know Me who am birthless and undecaying.
我並非對所有人都顯現，但我確實顯現給那些被選中的少數人，他們是我的奉獻者，唯獨皈依於我。我對那些被三種「Gunas」（德性）和二元對立所迷惑的人，以及被這個作為自然屬性顯現的宇宙所遮蔽的人，是不可見的。這就是我的「Yoga-Maya」（瑜伽摩耶）或我的創造性幻象，它遮蔽了世俗之人的理解力。因此，他們無法看見將「Maya」（摩耶）完全掌控於手中的主。「Yoga-Maya」是自然三種屬性的結合。由此產生的幻象或遮蔽被稱為「Yoga-Maya」。世俗之人被這三種屬性結合所產生的幻象所迷惑。因此，他們無法認識那無生無變的主。這「Yoga-Maya」完全在主的掌控之下。「Isvara」（自在主）是「Maya」的駕馭者。因此，它無法遮蔽祂自己的知識，就像魔術師創造的幻象無法阻礙他自己的知識或欺騙他一樣。束縛世俗之人的幻象，絲毫無法影響將「Maya」完全降服於自身掌控之下的主。(參見《薄伽梵歌》第七章第十三節、第九章第五節、第十章第七節、第十一章第八節)
I am not manifest to all the people? but I am certainly manifest to the chosen few who are My devotees? who have taken sole refuge in Me alone. I am not visible to those who are deluded by the three Gunas and the pairs of opposites? and who are screened off by this universe which is a manifestation of the alities of Nature? My YogaMaya or My creative illusion. This veils the understanding of the worldlyminded people. So they are not able to behold the Lord Who keeps Maya under His perfect control.YogaMaya is the union of the three alities of Nature. The illusion or veil spread thery is called YogaMaya. The worldly people are deluded by the illusion born of the union of the three alities. Therefore? they are not able to know the Lord Who is unborn and immutable.This YogaMaya is under the perfect control of the Lord. Isvara is the wielder of Maya. Therefore it cannot obscure His own knowledge? just as the illusion created by the juggler cannot obstruct his,own knowledge or deceive him. The illusion which binds the worldly people cannot in the least affect the Lord Who has kep Maya under his perfect subjugation. (Cf.VII.13IX.5X.7XI.8)
