Yoga Definition and Sāṃkhya Enumeration
ततो मोहपरीतास्ता नापश्यन्त यथा पुरा । परस्परावमर्देन वर्धयन्त्यो यथासुखम्,मोहसे घिर जानेपर उनमें पहले-जैसी विवेकपूर्ण दृष्टि नहीं रह गयी; अतः वे परस्पर एक-दूसरेका विनाश करके अपने-अपने सुखको बढ़ानेकी चेष्टा करने लगे
tato mohapārītāstā nāpaśyanta yathā purā | parasparāvamardena vardhayantyo yathāsukham ||
Kemudian, diliputi delusi, mereka tidak lagi memandang dengan kejernihan seperti dahulu. Demi kesenangan diri, mereka berusaha menambah kebahagiaan dengan menindas satu sama lain—mencelakai sesama menjadi jalan meraih untung pribadi.

Educational Q&A
When delusion (moha) overtakes people, discernment collapses and self-interest replaces dharma; the pursuit of personal pleasure then expresses itself as mutual oppression, producing social and ethical ruin.
Parāśara describes a condition of moral confusion in which certain beings (spoken of in the feminine plural) lose their former clarity of judgment and, driven by desire for their own comfort, try to prosper by harming one another.
