प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः | भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात्
prakṛtiṃ svāmavaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ . bhūtagrāmamimaṃ kṛtsnamavaśaṃ prakṛtervaśāt
我掌控着我的原质(Prakriti),一次又一次地显现出这整个众生群体,它们因自身本性的影响而无能为力。
Keeping My own prakrti under control, I project forth again and again the whole of this multitude of beings which are powerless owing to the influence of (their own) nature.
主倚靠、推动或拥抱原质。他激活并滋养了在大劫或宇宙毁灭期结束时进入沉睡的原质,并一次又一次地显现出这整个众生群体。他注视着每一个层面,然后一个又一个层面便形成了。原质(Prakriti)在此指五种烦恼(Klesha):无明(Avidya)、我执(Asmita)、贪爱(Raga)、嗔恨(Dvesha)和执着生命(Abhinivesa)。(参阅《薄伽梵歌》第四章第6节)
The Lord leans on? presses or embraces Nature. He invigorates and fertilises Nature which had gone to sleep at the end of the Mahakalpa or universal dissolution and projects again and again this whole multitude of beings. He gazes at each level and plane after plane comes into being.The term Prakriti denotes or indicates the five Kleshas or afflictions? viz.? Avidya (ignorance)? Asmita (egoism)? Raga (likes)? Dvesha (dislikes) and Abhinivesa (clinging to earthly life). (Cf.IV.6)
