The Lord takes neither the demerit nor the merit of any; knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, and beings are deluded.

Swami Sivananda

The Omnipresent neither accepts anyone's sin nor even virtue; knowledge remains covered by ignorance, thus the creatures become deluded.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

The all-pervasive One takes away neither the sin nor the merit of anyone. Knowledge is enveloped by ignorance, and creatures are thereby deluded.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

The Omnimanifest Soul takes neither sin nor merit born of any action upon itself. But, perfect knowledge is clouded by Illusion, and thus the creatures are deluded.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

The Lord does not accept responsibility for any person's sin or merit; they are deluded, for wisdom is submerged in ignorance within them.

Shri Purohit Swami

सर्वव्यापी परमात्मा न किसीके पापकर्मको और न शुभकर्मको ही ग्रहण करता है; किन्तु अज्ञानसे ज्ञान ढका हुआ है, उसीसे सब जीव मोहित हो रहे हैं।

Swami Ramsukhdas

विभु परमात्मा न किसी के पापकर्म को और न पुण्यकर्म को ही ग्रहण करता है;  (किन्तु) अज्ञान से ज्ञान ढका हुआ है,  इससे सब जीव मोहित होते हैं।
