| 3. My womb is
the great Brahman ; in that I place the germ ; thence O Bharata, is the
birth of all beings.My womb: My own Prakriti,i.e the Prakriti which belongs
to Me, the Maya made up of the three Gunas, the material cause of all beings
This Prakriti is spoken of as great because it is greater than all effects;
and as the source and nourishing energy of all Its modifications, It is
termed Brahman. In that Great Brahman I place the germ, the seed of the
birth of the Hiranyagarbha, the seed which gives birth to all beings. I
who am possessed of the two potencies (Saktis); the two Prakritis of Kshetra
and the Kshetrajna, unite the Kshetrajna with Kshetra, the Kshetrajna conforming
Himself to the upadhis of avidya (nescience), kama (desire), and karma (action).
This act of impregnation gives rise to the birth of all beings through the
birth of the Hirarnyagarbha. |
