She, possessing qualities, provides different varieties of tactical solutions, some beneficial some not so beneficial to the being, who is devoid of the qualities. As a result, his material well-being and non-well-being happens.

The 'guṇavati' refers to the prakruti, the material cause addressed in feminine. She possesses satva, rajas and tamas qualities. The 'puṁsaḥ', the being, is devoid of these qualities.
