3.27.2

sa eṣa yarhi prakṛter guṇeṣv abhiviṣajjate /
ahaṅkriyā-vimūḍhātmā kartāsmīty abhimanyate //

Verse 2. V. When the true nature of the Jiva is concealed or forgotten on account of the wrong notion of regarding the physical body to be his essential self and thus he becomes attached to the objects of sense and thinks himself to be the absolute agent. D. Here the Jiva is spoken of as affected by the conditions of this body the pronoun एष: refers to the Jiva the matter of direct experience every day as distinct from the Lord spoken of in the previous verse.—When attached the body of Satva and other gunas the Jiva is deluded by Ahankara and forgets the nature of the Lord and that he is only a limited and a dependent agent.
