Worth noting the word vivaśīkṛta, «made subject», literally «deprived of power over oneself». That is, habit is described as the taking away of will; and this agrees with what was said when reading the sixteenth verse, where bonds were defined through habit. Add the main point: tādṛg-rūpaḥ, «takes on the form of that».
That is, a person does not merely act by habit, but is made by it: it becomes his form. This position we examined at Śātyāyanī (3), where it stood yac-cittas tan-mayo bhavati, «whatever the mind holds, that the person becomes»; and here it is applied to the evil. Add the last half-line: the delusion consists in his seeing this as sad vastu, «a true thing».
That is, the trouble is not in what he does, but in that he takes his own representation for reality. The Vaishnava side holds precisely this, and the distinction between bhāvanā (a representation constructed by the mind) and dhyāna (contemplation of what is real) was spoken of at Varāha (5.40). Let the test be repeated from there, for it is simple: what is imagined obeys the imaginer, and what is real does not.
