Translation
Nescience does not exist apart from the mind. Indeed the mind is nescience and the cause for the bondage of birth (and death). The universe disappears when this mind disappears and the universe emerges unbridled when the mind is let loose.
Annotation
Nescience exists in deep sleep but there is no bondage because mind is withdrawn. Hence it is said that there is no nescience apart from the mind (Jagadguru). The mind is an evolute of māyā, as it is the product of the five elements. Consciousness reflects on this and identifies with the body–mind–complex. Hence it becomes the seer and the seen and thus sees division. The delimited consciousness is conditioned by the three guṇa–s and hence it has likes and dislikes for objects.
