जीवभूतां महाबाहो ययेदं धार्यते जगत् || 5||

भावार्थ:

यह आठ प्रकार के भेदों वाली तो अपरा अर्थात मेरी जड़ प्रकृति है और हे महाबाहो! इससे दूसरी को, जिससे यह सम्पूर्ण जगत धारण किया जाता है, मेरी जीवरूपा परा अर्थात चेतन प्रकृति जान॥5॥

Translation

Such is my inferior energy. But beyond it, O mighty-armed Arjun, I have a superior energy. This is the jīva śhakti (the soul energy), which comprises the embodied souls who are the basis of life in this world.

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