sattvam rajas tama iti

 gunas tad-vrttayas ca yah

tvayy addha brahmani pare

 kalpita yoga-mayaya

 

Translation: 

 

The modes of material nature — namely goodness, passion and ignorance — together with all their functions, become directly manifest within You, the Supreme Absolute Truth, by the arrangement of Your Yoga-maya.

 

Purport: 

 

Vasudeva’s description of how the Supreme Lord expands Himself into the products of the three material modes may possibly be misunderstood to imply that He is touched by the modes, or even that He is subject to destruction. To negate these misunderstandings, Vasudeva states here that the three modes and their products function by the arrangement of the Lord’s creative energy, Yoga-maya, who is always completely under His control. Thus the Lord is never tainted in the least by any material contact.
