儘管我無生，自性不朽，且是眾生之主，我仍藉由駕馭我之本性（Prakriti），以我自己的瑪亞（Maya）顯現。
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.
人類受業力（Karma）束縛，因此會經歷誕生。他們受制於自然（Nature），並被自然的三種特質所迷惑。然而，主宰者能完全掌控瑪亞（Maya），祂駕馭自然，因此不受自然特質的束縛。祂看似藉由自己的瑪亞或幻力而誕生並具備形體，但實際上並非如此。祂的顯現實際上是表象，絲毫不會影響祂真實的神聖本性。（參見《薄伽梵歌》第九章第八節）
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).
