Sanskrit Original
क्षेत्रज्ञाधिष्ठितं तत्र वैपम्यं भजते तु तत। ततः प्रपत्स्यते व्यक्तं क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञयोर्द्वयोः।।
kṣetrajñādhiṣṭhitaṃ tatra vaipamyaṃ bhajate tu tat| tataḥ prapatsyate vyaktaṃ kṣetrakṣetrajñayordvayoḥ||

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.
