Comment:-
Bijam mam satvabhatanam viddhi* partha sanatanam:—O Partha, I ate the eternal seed (source), of all beings. All of them, are born of Me, Who am their seed, they live in Me and in the end, merge in Me. They without Me have no existence of their own. A seed, grows out of a tree and it perishes, after creating a tree. But the seed, described in this verse, is eternal without its origin and end. In the eighteenth verse of the ninth chapter, it has been called an 'Imperishable seed'. Remaining imperishable and unaltered, this eternal seed, is the source, producer, resort and illuminator, of the entire universe.
In the Gita, the word 'seed', has been used, both for God and the erubodied soul. In this verse, 'Seed' denotes God, because here, the divine glories have been described. In the thirty-ninth verse of the tenth chapter also, the word 'seed' denotes, God because there, Lord Krsna declares, "I am the seed of all beings." In the eighteenth verse of the ninth chapter also, this word has In the sixth verse of this chapter Lord Krsna used the tern 'Upadharaya' (know) and here he uses the term 'Viddhi' (know). It means that he wants to say that the striver should understand, know and accept the fact that the universe is nothing besides the Divine manifestation. been used for God, because, in the nineteenth verse of that chapter, Lord Krsna says, "I am being and non-being both." In the fourth verse of the fourteenth chapter, the term 'seed', stands for embodied soul. The seed, signifies the embodied soul, only when, it has accepted Its affmity for matter (nature), otherwise it is a super-soul (God).
Buddhirbuddhimatsmasmi:—"I am the intelligence, of the intelligent." People are called intelligent, only because of their intelligence, otherwise they would be called, dull.
Tejastejasvinhmaham:—The Lord, is the glory of the glorious. This glory is a divine trait. Liberated souls, possess a special aura, which enables even dissolute and immoral persons, to become virtuous.
