मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम् | हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते
mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram . hetunānena kaunteya jagadviparivartate
在我監督之下，「原質」（Prakrti）產生出有動與不動之物（世界）。因此之故，貢蒂之子啊，世界得以運轉。
Under Me as the supervisor, the Prakrti produces (the world) of the moving and the non-moving things. Owing to this reason, O son of Kunti, the world revolves.
主僅作為見證者而主宰。「原質」（Nature）做一切事。由於祂的臨近或存在，「原質」產生出有動與不動之物。這種創造的首要原因就是「原質」。對於可動與不動之物，以及整個宇宙而言，根本原因就是「原質」本身。儘管所有行為都是藉助太陽的光芒完成的，然而太陽卻不能成為行為的執行者。同樣地，儘管「原質」藉助主的光芒執行所有行為，主卻不能成為行為的執行者。由於「梵」（Brahman）照亮了無明（Avidya），即這個世界的物質原因，它被視為這個世界的原因。磁鐵雖然使鐵片因其接近而移動，但它本身卻完全漠不關心。同樣地，主雖然使「原質」創造世界，但祂卻保持漠不關心。作為主宰和見證者，祂主宰著這個由有動與不動之物組成的世界——顯現與未顯現之物周而復始地運轉。創造的目的是什麼？當神對任何享樂都沒有實際關聯時，祂為何創造這個世界？這是一個超越性的問題，或「阿提普拉什那」（Atiprasna）。因此，詢問或回答這個問題是不相關的。你不能說神為了自己的享樂而創造這個世界，因為祂實際上並不享樂任何事物。祂只是一個單純的見證者。（參見《博伽梵歌》第十章第八節）
The Lord presides only as a witness. Nature does everything. By reason of His proximity or presence? Nature sends forth the moving and the unmoving. The prime cause of this creation is Nature. For the movable and the immovable? and for the whole universe? the root cause is Nature itself.Although all actions are done with the help of the light of the sun? yet? the sun cannot become the doer of actions. Even so the Lord cannot become the doer of actions even though Nature does all actions with the help of the light of the Lord.As Brahman illumines Avidya (ignorance)? the material cause of this world? It is regarded as the cause of this world. The magnet is ite indifferent although it makes the iron pieces move on account of its proximity. Even so the Lord remains indifferent although He makes Nature create the world.As the Lord and the Witness? He presides over this world which consists of moving and unmoving objects the manifested and the unmanifested wheel round and round.What is the purpose of creation Why has God created this world when He has really no concern with any enjoyment whatsoever This is a transcendental estion or Atiprasna. It is therefore irrelevant to ask or to answer this estion. You cannot say that God created this world for His own enjoyment because He really does not enjoy anything. He is a mere witness only. (Cf.X.8)
