TEXT 39
- यच्चापि सर्वभूतानां बीजं तदहमर्जुन ।
- न तदस्ति विना यत्स्यान्मया भूतं चराचरम् ॥३९॥
- yac cāpi sarva-bhūtānāṁ
- bījaṁ tad aham arjuna
- na tad asti vinā yat syān
- mayā bhūtaṁ carācaram
SYNONYMS
yat—whatever; ca—also; api—may be; sarva-bhūtānām—of all creations; bījam—the seed; tat—that; aham—I am; arjuna—O Arjuna; na—not; tat—that; asti—there is; vinā—without; yat—that; syāt—exists; mayā—by Me; bhūtam—created; carācaram—moving and unmoving.
TRANSLATION
Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being-moving or unmoving—that can exist without Me.
PURPORT
Everything has a cause, and that cause or seed of manifestation is Kṛṣṇa. Without Kṛṣṇa's energy, nothing can exist; therefore He is called omnipotent. Without His potency, neither the movable nor the unmovable can exist. Whatever existence is not founded on the energy of Kṛṣṇa is called māyā, that which is not.
