ca puṃsām tanum carantī paramābhidhām upaiti

3. That power (śakti), having assumed the nature of the mind (manas) and appearing as if both real and inert, has emerged from consciousness (cit). O Brahman, that power (śakti) manifests appropriately through its inherent power-nature.
3. העוצמה (שַׁקְטִי) שהפכה לחשיבה, והגיעה מן ה-צִט כאילו הייתה חומר דומם, קורנת ומפציעה דרך כוח זה, הו בְּרַהְמָן.

mukuraḥ dravyātmani asthitāt api bimbam ādatte
7. This individual soul (jīva) indeed manifests completely by the power of the (supreme) self (ātman) that pervades all. Just as a mirror reflects an image even when that image is not present within the mirror's own substance.
7. בזכות העוצמה של העצמי השוכנת בכל, ה-גִ'יוָוה הזו פועלת וזורחת לחלוטין; בדיוק כפי שמראה קולטת בבואה מגוף הנמצא מחוצה לה.

mohāt vismṛtabhāvatvāt sat dvijaḥ śūdratām iva (gataḥ)
8. This individual soul (jīva) has fallen into inertia because it has completely forgotten its intrinsic nature (svabhāva), just as a true twice-born (dvija) might descend to the state of a śūdra by forgetting his true position due to delusion.
8. מכיוון שנשכח ממנה טבעה האמיתי, ה-גִ'יוָוה הזו שוקעת בקהות חושית, בדיוק כפי שאדם מיוחס השוכח את זהותו מתוך אשליה נופל למעמד ירוד.

mohāpahatacittatvāt sumahān iva dīnatām
9. hi pravismṛtasvabhāvā cit mohāpahatacittatvāt
sumahān iva dīnatām cittatvam upāgatā
9. Indeed, pure consciousness, having completely forgotten its own intrinsic nature (dharma), takes on the state of mind. This occurs just as a very great person, due to a mind afflicted by delusion, might descend to wretchedness.
9. שכן ה-צִט, לאחר שנשכח ממנה טבעה הטהור, הופכת לחשיבה; וכאשר תודעתה נכבשת על ידי האשליה, היא נדמית לאדם דגול הנופל למסכנות.

10. הגוף מונע על ידי עוצמה דוממת וחסרת אונים זו, הדמה לכוח הרוח, ממש כפי שמים מונעים על ידי שרשרת גלים.

37. כשם שהחלל נטמע ברוח, כך ה-פּוּרְיַאשְׁטַקַה מתפוגג, ואז באותו מקום דועכת גם החשיבה, הוי פרוש קדוש.

45. The eight-fold subtle body (pury-aṣṭaka), which is constituted by vital air (prāṇa), sufficiently sustains the physical body. At that time, it is said to live, just like a Vetala (spirit) causes a corpse to pulsate with a heartbeat.
