Swami Adidevananda (English)
This is My lower Prakṛti. But, O mighty-armed one, know that My higher nature is another. It is the life-principle (Jīva-bhūta), by which this universe is sustained.
Swami Gambirananda (English)
O mighty-armed one, this is the inferior Prakrti. Know the other Prakrti of Mine, which is however higher than this, which has taken the form of individual souls, and by which this world is upheld.
Swami Sivananda (English)
O mighty-armed Arjuna, this is the inferior Prakriti; know it as distinct from My higher Prakriti, the very life-element, by which this world is upheld.
Dr. S. Sankaranarayan (English)
This is My lower nature. My superior nature, which has become the individual Soul and by which this world is maintained, is not different from this. O mighty-armed Arjuna, you must know this.
Shri Purohit Swami (English)
This is My inferior nature; however, O valiant one, know that distinct from this is My superior nature, which is the very life that sustains the universe.
