भावार्थ:

ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य और शूद्र- इन चार वर्णों का समूह, गुण और कर्मों के विभागपूर्वक मेरे द्वारा रचा गया है। इस प्रकार उस सृष्टि-रचनादि कर्म का कर्ता होने पर भी मुझ अविनाशी परमेश्वर को तू वास्तव में अकर्ता ही जान॥13॥

Translation

The four categories of occupations were created by me according to people’s qualities and activities. Although I am the creator of this system, know me to be the non-doer and eternal.

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya’s Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda
