Samkhya Karika 45

वैराग्यात् प्रकृतिलयः संसारो भवति राजसाद्रागात् ।
ऐश्वर्यादविघातो विपर्ययात् तद्विपर्यासः ॥ ४५ ॥

vairāgyāt prakṛtilayaḥ saṁsāro bhavati rājasādrāgāt ।
aiśvaryādavighāto viparyayāt tadviparyāsaḥ ॥ 45 ॥

Vairāgyāt=from dispassion; prakṛtilayaḥ=absorption into Prakriti; saṁsārah=transmigration; bhavati=results; rājasāt=from rajas guna; rāgāt=from attachment; aiśvaryāt= from power; avighātaḥ=non-impediment; viparyayāt=from the opposite (weakness); tadviparyāsaḥ=contrary (impediment)

Dispassion results in absorption into Prakriti; from passion driven by Rajas results transmigration; from power comes non-impediment (of desires) and from the reverse (weakness) results the contrary (impediment).
