Karika 48

भेदस्तमसोऽष्टविधो मोहस्य च दशविधो महामोहः। तामिस्रोऽष्टादशधा तथा भवत्यन्धतामिस्रः ॥४८॥

(Five misunderstandings are further elaborated here.) Variations of wrong knowledge are eight, and also that of attachment. Ten types are passions. Hatred is of eighteen types, and so also are types of blind attachment to life.

Five misunderstandings are elaborated here.

8 wrong knowledge (tamasaḥ)
8 attachments (moha)
10 passions (mahā mohaḥ) raga
18 types of hatreds(tāmiśraḥ ), and
18 types of false clinging to life (andhatāmisraḥ)

In the later commentaries we are provided explanation equating the terms as follows:
tamasaḥ = avidya, wrong knowledge; moha = asmita, ego; mahā mohaḥ = raga, passion; tāmiśraḥ = dvesha, hatred; andhatāmisraḥ = abhivavesha, clinging to life.

ॐ असतो मा सद्गमय। तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय। मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय। ॐ शान्ति: शान्ति: शान्ति: ॥ - बृहदारण्यकोपनिषद् 1.3.28
"Ōm! Lead me from the unreal to the real, from darkness to light, and from death to immortality. Let there be peace, peace, and peace. Ōm!" - Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.3.28
