Chapter 10: The Opulence of the Absolute

Bg 10.39
TEXT 39
yac capi sarva-bhutanam
bijam tad aham arjuna
na tad asti vina yat syan
maya bhutam caracaram
SYNONYMS
yat—whatever; ca—also; api—may be; sarva-bhutanam—of all creations; bijam—the seed; tat—that; aham—I am; arjuna—O Arjuna; na—not; tat—that; asti—there is; vina—without; yat—that; syat—exists; maya—by Me; bhutam—created; caracaram—moving and unmoving.
TRANSLATION
Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being-moving or unmoving-that can exist without Me.
PURPORT
Everything has a cause, and that cause or seed of manifestation is Krsna. Without Krsna's energy, nothing can exist; therefore He is called omnipotent. Without His potency, neither the movable nor the unmovable can exist. Whatever existence is not founded on the energy of Krsna is called maya, that which is not.
