मया कालात्मना धात्रा कर्मयुक्तमिदं जगत् । गुणप्रवाह एतस्मिन्नुन्मज्जति निमज्जति ॥ १५ ॥
mayā kālātmanā dhātrā karma-yuktam idaṁ jagat guṇa-pravāha etasminn unmajjati nimajjati
- mayā
- by Me
- kāla-ātmanā
- who contains the energy of time
- dhātrā
- the creator
- karma-yuktam
- full of fruitive activities
- idam
- this
- jagat
- world
- guṇa-pravāhe
- in the mighty current of the modes
- etasmin
- in this
- unmajjati
- one rises up
- nimajjati
- one drowns
All results of fruitive work have been arranged within this world by Me, the supreme creator acting as the force of time. Thus one sometimes rises up toward the surface of this mighty river of the modes of nature and sometimes again submerges.
