ମୁଁ ଅଜନ୍ମା ଏବଂ ଅବିନାଶୀ ସ୍ୱଭାବ ବିଶିଷ୍ଟ ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ, ଏବଂ ସମସ୍ତ ପ୍ରାଣୀଙ୍କ ଈଶ୍ୱର ହେଲେ ମଧ୍ୟ, ମୋର ନିଜ ପ୍ରକୃତିକୁ ଅଧିଷ୍ଠିତ କରି, ମୋର ନିଜ ମାୟା ଦ୍ୱାରା ମୁଁ ଜନ୍ମ ଗ୍ରହଣ କରେ।
Man is bound by Karma. So he takes birth. He is under the clutches of Nature. He,is deluded by the three alities of Nature whereas the Lord has Maya under His perfect control. He rules over Nature, and so He is not under the thraldom of the alities o Nature. He appears to be born and embodied through His own Maya or illusory power, but is not so in reality. His embodiment is , as a matter of fact, apparent? It cannot affect in the least His true divine nature. (Cf. IX.8).
