Mokṣa-Sannyāsa Yoga · Verse 39

यदग्रे चानुबन्धे च सुखं मोहनमात्मनः | निद्रालस्यप्रमादोत्थं तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्

yad agre cānubandhe ca sukhaṃ mohanam ātmanaḥ | nidrālasyapramādotthaṃ tat tāmasam udāhṛtam

That which at first and in continuation is pleasure that confuses the Self, born of sleep, laziness and heedlessness — that is said to be tāmasic.

Tāmasic pleasure: agre ca anubandhe ca — at first and afterwards. Always confusing, never liberating.

Nidrā-ālasya-pramāda-uttham — born of sleep (nidrā), laziness (ālasya), heedlessness (pramāda). It is lethargy, intoxication, evasion. Mohanam ātmanaḥ — confuses the Self, impedes knowledge.
