ajo’pi sann-avyayātmā bhūtānām īśvaro’pi san |
prakṛtiṃ svām-adhiṣṭhāya saṃbhavāmy-ātma māyayā || 6 ||

6. Though I am unborn and immutable by nature, and though I am the Lord of all beings, yet by
employing My own Nature (Prakrti) I am born by My own free will.

Commentary

Without compromising any of the My specific qualities, such as supreme Lordship, birthlessness, imperishability etc, I am manifest by My own free will — 'Prakṛti' means one's own nature. The meaning is that while abiding in My own Nature and taking a form of My choice, I incarnate by My own free will (Māyā).
