yadā - when; jayet - conquers; rajaḥ sattvam - the modes of passion and goodness; tamaḥ - the mode of darkness; mūḍham - defeating one's discrimination; layam - covering over consciousness; jaḍam - devoid of endeavor; yujyeta - one becomes endowed; śoka - with lamentation; mohābhyām - and bewilderment; nidrayā - with oversleeping; hiṁsayā - with violent qualities; āśayā - and false hopes.

When the mode of ignorance conquers passion and goodness, it covers one’s consciousness and makes one foolish and dull. Falling into lamentation and illusion, a person in the mode of ignorance sleeps excessively, indulges in false hopes, and displays violence toward others.
