14.5
भिन्नवेद्यप्रथात्रैव मायाख्यं जन्मभोगदम् कर्तर्य् अबोधे कार्मं तु मायाशक्त्यैव तत् त्रयम् ॥५॥
bhinnavedyaprathātraiva māyākhyaṃ janmabhogadam kartary abodhe kārmaṃ tu māyāśaktyaiva tat trayam
— the spreading-out as distinct knowables ; — here (in this context) ; — called the māyīya (mala) ; — which gives birth and experience ; — in the agent ; — who is non-cognizant ; — the kārma (mala) ; — but ; — by the power of māyā alone ; — that triad

The spreading-out as distinct knowables, here called the māyīya (mala), gives birth and experience; and (the mala) in the non-cognizant agent is the kārma. That triad (of malas exists) only by the power of māyā.
