अविद्येति धृता संविद्ब्रह्मणात्मनि सत्तया ।
तद्भ्रमेणासदप्यस्याः सद्रूपमिव लक्ष्यते ॥ ११ ॥

avidyeti dhṛtā saṃvidbrahmaṇātmani sattayā |
tadbhrameṇāsadapyasyāḥ sadrūpamiva lakṣyate || 11 ||

And because this ignorance or Avidya, is ever accompanied with Intellect of the Lord himself, it is for this very reason, that the unreality is erroneous by taken for the reality itself.
