deśakālakriyāyogāt padārthe bhāvanām iva

11. When a latent impression (vāsanā) attains extreme subtlety, it itself achieves liberation (mokṣa). This is comparable to how, through the conjunction of space, time, and action, a particular imaginative conception (bhāvanā) arises regarding an object.

11. כאשר הוָאסָנָה הופכת לדקה ועדינה עד מאוד, היא עצמה מגיעה לכלל שחרור, כפי שהרעיון לגבי אובייקט מסוים נעלם עם שינויי הזמן, המקום והפעולה.
