Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya
B.G 7.27
इच्छाद्वेषसमुत्थेन द्वन्द्वमोहेन भारत। सर्वभूतानि संमोहं सर्गे यान्ति परन्तप ॥२७॥
O Bharata, Arise from desire and aversion caused by the delusion of duality. O chastiser of foes, all beings are subject to intense delusion from the time of creation.
Gīta Bhāshya 7.27
'dvandva-moha' - delusion of experienced topics and objects caused by pleasure and pain; 'sarge' - time from the beginning of creation; Along with the corporeal body comes the desire and other defects. However, previously there was only ignorance.
द्वन्द्वमोहेन सुखदुःखादिविषयमोहेन। इच्छाद्वेषयोः प्रवृद्धयोः न हि किञ्चित् ज्ञातुं शक्यम्। कारणान्तरम् एतत्। सर्गे सर्गकालं आरभ्यैव। शरीरे हि सति इच्छादयः। पूर्वं तु अज्ञानमात्रम् ॥२७॥
The word 'dvandva-moha' i.e. delusion caused by duality, refers to the delusion of experienced topics and objects caused by pleasure and pain. Because of tendencies driven by desire and aversion, it becomes impossible to know anything. This is another cause. The word 'sarge' refers to the time from the beginning of creation. Along with the corporeal body comes the desire and other defects. Previously, however, there was only ignorance.
Gīta Tātparya 7.27
The confusion regarding the distinction between the individual soul (jīva) and the Supreme Lord (Īśvara) is 'dvandva'. The delusion on this topic constitutes 'dvandva-mohaḥ'. 'sarge' - the moment of creation. Meaning of words are substantiated through testimonials from Mahabharata and Agni Purana.
द्वन्द्वमोहो मिथ्याज्ञानम्।
The word 'dvandvamoha' i.e. delusion caused by duality, refers to false knowledge.
"तमस्तु शार्वरं विद्यात् मोहश्चैव विपर्ययः।"
"Darkness (ignorance) should be understood as nightly (obscure), and is also known as 'mohaḥ' (delusion), and 'viparyayaḥ' (misconception or inversion of reality)."
इति भारते।
-stated thus in the epic Mahabharata.
जीवेश्वरादिकं द्वन्द्वम्। तद्विषयो मोहः द्वन्द्वमोहः। सम्मोहः तदाग्रहः।
The confusion regarding the distinction between the individual soul (jīva) and the Supreme Lord (Īśvara) is 'dvandva'. The delusion on this topic constitutes 'dvandva-mohaḥ' i.e. delusion regarding duality. The word 'sammohah', i.e. complete delusion, is the insistence or clinging to that confusion.
"तदाग्रहो महामोहः तामिस्रः क्रोध उच्यते।"
"The insistence on such delusion is called 'mahā-moha', and the anger caused by such great delusion is referred to as 'tāmisra', i.e. darkness."
इत्युक्तत्वात्।
- stated thus (in Mahabharata).
सर्गे सर्गकाले एव।
The word 'sarge' indeed refers to the moment of creation.
"जीवधर्मानीश्वरे तु यो जीवेषु ऐश्वरानपि। विद्याज्जीवेश्वरैक्यं वा द्वन्द्वमोही स उच्यते॥"
"One who attributes the qualities of the individual soul (jīva) to the Supreme Lord (Īśvara) or divine qualities to the individual soul, or considers the unity of the individual soul and the Supreme Lord, is called 'dvandva-mohī' i.e. deluded by duality."
इत्याग्नेये ॥२७॥
- stated thus in Agni Purana.

...

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
