Adhyaya 11 — The Son’s Discourse on Embryogenesis, Birth, and the Wheel of Saṃsāra
ततस्तं वैष्णवी माया समास्कन्दति मोहिनी ।
तया विमोहितात्मासौ ज्ञानभ्रंशमवाप्नुते ॥
tatas taṃ vaiṣṇavī māyā samāskandati mohinī | tayā vimohitātmāsau jñānabhraṃśam avāpnute ||
అప్పుడు మోహినీ వైష్ణవీ మాయ అతనిని ఆవరించును; ఆమెచే ఆత్మ మోహితమై అతడు జ్ఞానమునుండి పతనమగును।
