अप्रकाशोऽप्रवृत्तिश्च प्रमादो मोह एव च । तमस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे कुरुनन्दन ॥ १३ ॥
aprakāśho ’pravṛittiśh cha pramādo moha eva cha tamasy etāni jāyante vivṛiddhe kuru-nandana
Translation
Darkness, inertia, carelessness and delusion: these arise when tamas grows strong, O joy of the Kurus.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे कुरुनन्दन! तमोगुण के बढ़ने पर अप्रकाश (अंधकार), अप्रवृत्ति (निष्क्रियता), प्रमाद और मोह उत्पन्न होते हैं।
Commentary
Tamas shows as the opposite of the other two. Aprakasha, "no light," is the opposite of sattva's clarity. Apravritti, "no activity," is the opposite of rajas's drive. Add carelessness and confusion, and one has the familiar state of being stuck, foggy and unable to care.
