Yoga Sutra III-15 - KRAMANYATVAM PARINAMANYATVE HETUH - The succession of these different phases is the cause of the differences in stages of evolution.Swami Satchidananda translated the above sutra without commentary.
The commentary from "How to Know God - The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali" translated and commented on by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood is as follows and includes the previous sutra 14:
"Every object within the realm of differentiated matter has attributes and is a compound object, since it is made of the three gunas in varying combination. As has already explained in chapter 1, the attributes of an object vary and change according to the action of the gunas and the constitution of the samskaras. Any object that can change into any other object. Therefore, the enlightened yogi sees no essential difference between a piece of gold and a lump of mud. Hence, he acquires complete dispassion toward the objects of the phenomenal world."
