Apareyam itastvanyam

Prakrtim viddhi me param;

Jiva-bhutam mahabaho

Yayedam dharayate jagat-

This is (My) ordinary nature; but, other than this, knows my higher nature, O mighty-armed (Arjuna), which is of the nature of intelligence and by which this whole universe is sustained’.

Commenting on this statement of Sri Krsna in his comment on the next verse, verse 6 Sankaracarya says:

Prakrti-dvaya-dvarena aham

Sarvajna isvaro jagatah karanam-

Through this twofold nature, I, who am God the all-knowing (being of the nature of pure Consciousness), am the cause of this universe.’
