Sanskrit Original
एवं तानभिमानेन प्रपत्स्यति पुनस्तदा। यदा प्रवर्त्तितव्यं तु क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोर द्वयोः।।
evaṃ tānabhimānena prapatsyati punastadā| yadā pravarttitavyaṃ tu kṣetrakṣetrajñayor dvayoḥ||
The Sages Said:: Thus it again attains them through Abhimāna (identity by means of concepts). When it becomes necessary to function, the relationship of Bhojya (One worthy of being enjoyed) and Bhoktṛtva (the state of being the enjoyer) of the two principles the Kṣetra and Kṣetrajña attains them. Therefore the unmanifest one of the nature of Guṇa remains in equilibrium and on being presided over by Kṣetrajña attains Vaiṣamya (upsetting of the equilibrium). Then the Vyakta (Manifest one) resorts to both, Kṣetra and Kṣetrajña.
