अध्याय-७*- SEVEN
भूमिरापोऽनलो वायु: खं मनो बुद्धिदेव च । अहङ्कार इतीयं मे भिन्ना प्रकृतिरष्टधा ॥ ४ ॥
"My Prakriti (nature) is divided eightfold namely - Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Mind. Intellect and Egoism"-4
अपरेयमितस्त्वन्यां प्रकृतिं विद्धि मे पराम् । जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत् ॥ ५ ॥
"This (Above mentioned Prakriti) is my lower aspect, but oh, Mighty one, Know my higher Prakriti (Self) which is the very life element which upholds this universe."5
एतद्योनीनि भूतानि सर्वाणीत्युपधारय । अहं कृस्त्ररय जगतः प्रभवः प्रलयस्तथा ॥६॥
"Know that these two types of elements (lower and higher) constitute the source of all beings and that I am the source as well as the end of all this which constitutes the whole universe. "-6
मत्तः परतरं नान्यत्किञ्चिदस्ति धनञ्जय । मयि सर्वमिदं प्रोतं सूत्रे मणिगणा इव ॥ ७ ॥
