Verse 4.42.37

क्वचित्प्रकृतिरित्युक्तं क्वचिन्मायेति कल्पितम् ।
क्वचिन्मलमितिप्रोक्तं क्वचित्कर्मेतिसंस्थितम् ॥ ३७ ॥

kvacitprakṛtirityuktaṃ kvacinmāyeti kalpitam |
kvacinmalamitiproktaṃ kvacitkarmetisaṃsthitam || 37 ||

It is sometimes styled the prakriti or character, and at others the maya or seat of self delusion. The mind—manas is often converted to malas or foulness, and very often to karman or activity.
