pasya me yogam aisvaram
bhuta-bhrn na ca bhuta-stho
mamatma bhuta-bhavanah [9-5]

And yet everything that is created does not rest in Me. Behold My mystic opulence! Although I am the maintainer of all living entities, and although I am everywhere, still My Self is the very source of creation. [9-5]

suyate sa-caracaram
hetunanena kaunteya
jagad viparivartate [9-10]

This material nature is working under My direction, O son of Kunti, and it is producing all moving and unmoving beings. By its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again. [9-10]

manusim tanum asritam
param bhavam ajananto
mama bhuta-mahesvaram [9-11]

Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature and My supreme dominion over all that be. [9-11]

moghasa mogha-karmano
mogha-jnana vicetasah
raksasim asurim caiva
prakrtim mohinim sritah [9-12]

daivim prakrtim asritah
bhajanty ananya-manaso
jnatva bhutadim avyayam [9-13]

yatantas ca drdha-vratah
namasyantas ca mam bhaktya
nitya-yukta upasate [9-14]

svadhaham aham ausadham
mantro 'ham aham evajyam
aham agnir aham hutam [9-16]

But it is I who am the ritual, I the sacrifice, the offering to the ancestors, the healing herb, the transcendental chant. I am the butter and the fire and the offering. [9-16]

mata dhata pitamahah
vedyam pavitram omkara
rk sama yajur eva ca [9-17]

nivasah saranam suhrt
prabhavah pralayah sthanam
nidhanam bijam avyayam [9-18]

te punyam asadya surendra-lokam

ksine punye martya-lokam visanti
evam trayi-dharmam anuprapanna
gatagatam kama-kama labhante [9-21]

ye janah paryupasate
tesam nityabhiyuktanam
yoga-ksemam vahamy aham [9-22]

But those who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My transcendental form--to them I carry what they lack and preserve what they have. [9-22]

yajante sraddhayanvitah
te 'pi mam eva kaunteya
yajanty avidhi-purvakam [9-23]

Whatever a man may sacrifice to other gods, O son of Kunti, is really meant for Me alone, but it is offered without true understanding. [9-23]

bhutani yanti bhutejya
yanti mad-yajino 'pi mam [9-25]
