अजोऽपि सन्नव्ययात्मा भूतानामीश्वरोऽपि सन् | प्रकृतिं स्वामधिष्ठाय सम्भवाम्यात्ममायया

尽管我无生无灭,本性不朽,是众生的主宰,但我通过驾驭我自己的原质(Prakriti),凭借我自己的摩耶(Maya)幻力而降生。
Though I am birthless, undecaying by nature, and the Lord of beings, (still) by subjugating My Prakriti, I take birth by means of My own Maya.
凡人受业力束缚而降生,受制于原质(Prakriti)的掌控,并被原质的三种属性所迷惑。然而,至尊主完全掌控着祂的摩耶(Maya)幻力。祂驾驭原质,因此不受原质属性的束缚。祂的降生和显现看似是肉身,实则通过祂自己的摩耶幻力,并非真实受生。事实上,祂的显现是表象,丝毫不会影响祂真实的、神圣的本性。
Man is bound by Karma. So he takes birth. He is under the clutches of Nature. He,is deluded by the three alities of Nature whereas the Lord has Maya under His perfect control. He rules over Nature? and so He is not under the thraldom of the alities o Nature. He appears to be born and embodied through His own Maya or illusory power? but is not so in reality. His embodiment is ? as a matter of fact? apparent? It cannot affect in the least His true divine nature. (Cf.IX.8).
