प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः | भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात्
prakṛtiṃ svāmavaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ . bhūtagrāmamimaṃ kṛtsnamavaśaṃ prakṛtervaśāt
我駕馭著我自己的「原質」（Prakrti），一次又一次地創生出這整個眾生群體，他們因受其自身「原質」的影響而無能為力。
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.
主依賴、驅動或擁抱「原質」（Nature）。祂激發並滋養了在大劫（Mahakalpa）或宇宙解體結束時進入沉睡的「原質」，並一次又一次地創生出這整個眾生群體。祂注視著每一個層次，而一個又一個的層面便隨之產生。「原質」（Prakriti）一詞在此表示或指示五種煩惱（Kleshas），即無明（Avidya）、我執（Asmita）、貪愛（Raga）、憎惡（Dvesha）和執著生命（Abhinivesa）。（參見《博伽梵歌》第四章第六節）
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)
