Synonyms
evam — in this way; para — other; abhidhyānena — by identification; kartṛtvam — the performance of activities; prakṛteḥ — of the material nature; pumān — the living entity; karmasu kriyamāṇeṣu — while the activities are being performed; guṇaiḥ — by the three modes; ātmani — to himself; manyate — he considers.

Translation

Because of his forgetfulness, the transcendental living entity accepts the influence of material energy as his field of activities, and thus actuated, he wrongly applies the activities to himself.
