Translation

The power of projection, relating to rajas, is active in nature. The propensity for action, primeval in nature, has emanated from it. From this (power of projection) arise the modifications of mind such as attachment, grief etc., in a perennial manner.

Annotation

1) Māyā is said to have two powers – the power to veil the real and to project the non–real. The latter relates to rajas. It refers either to the activity of the individual or the activity of the creator relating to creation and resolution (Jagadguru). 2) The modifications of mind such as attachment, grief etc., are only for the individual and not for the creator. All these are binding in nature (Jagadguru).
