Translation
It should be known that it is the mind which is the ego, the doer, the enjoyer, the one who identifies (with the body–mind). And this mind, by association with the guṇas such as sattva attains the three–fold states.
Annotation
The mind is the product of prakṛti, which consists of sattva, rajas and tamas. Hence with rajas it is in the waking state, with sattva it is in dream state and with tamas it attains deep sleep (Jagadguru).
