Lacking that, misconceptions (vritti) skew our perceptions. ||4||

Verse 4 

वृत्ति सारूप्यमितरत्र ॥४॥
vr‌tti sārūpyam-itaratra ॥4॥
vr‌tti = waves; changes; thought waves; lack of clarity
sā = similar
rūpyam = form
sārūpyam = similar form, as opposed to proprietary form of svaruupa . In other words, we identify with something that is merely similar to our true nature, thus engendering a skewed perception.
itara = different
itaratra = in other states
Lacking that, misconceptions (vritti) skew our perceptions. ||4||
