अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम् | जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत्

大力臂者啊，此乃低級原質（Prakriti）。然請知曉我另有更高級的原質（Prakriti），其化為個體靈魂，並以此維繫著整個世界。
O mighty-armed one, this is the inferior (Prakrti). Know the other Prakrti of Mine which, however, is higher than this, which has taken the from of individual souls, and by which this world is uphelp.
前一詩節所描述的八種原質（Prakriti）是低級原質（Apara Prakriti）。它構成了剎土（Kshetra）或場域，即物質。它是雜染的，產生惡並導致束縛。但高級原質（Prakriti）是純淨的。它就是我的真我（Atman），是剎土知者（Kshetrajna）或靈魂，生命藉由它得以維繫，它進入整個世界並維護著它。它是生命的要素或自我意識的原則，宇宙藉由它得以維繫。
The eightfold Nature described in the previous verse is the inferior Nature. It constitutes the Kshetra or the field or matter. It is impure. It generates evil and causes bondage. But the superior Nature is pure. It is My very Self? Kshetrajna (knower of the field or Spirit) by which life is sustained? and that which enters within the whole world and upholds it. It is the very lifeelement or the principle of Selfconsciousness? by which this universe is sustained.
