Translation

Along with the five sense organs, the determining intellect, with its notion of doership, is the ego sheath and it is the cause for transmigration of the jīva.

Annotation

The ego sheath is associated with the buddhi, determinate knowledge and with the notion of being the doer. This is the cause for the transmigration of a person (Jagadguru). The buddhi is called the determining intellect, when distinguished from manas.
