No, it's not a typo:
lola [law-lah] a. moving hither and thither, restless, unsteady;
greedy, eager or longing for (loc., infin., or ---); abstr. {-tA} f.,
{-tva} n.
My guess is the overall meaning of the above sentence is
something like this:
Mind is [naturally] restless. It is bound to a body because
of karma.
It's hard to come up with a translation proper that doesn't sound
somehow awkward...

(English is much more handy above, because one needs only one 'of' that applies to the whole noun phrase, whereas the indicator of the the genitive (possesive) case [-sya, -(n)aH] in Sanskrit has to be attached to all the components of that noun phrase [ta-sya bandhakaaraNa-sya karman-aH]) Well, hmmm
