श्रीभगवानुवाच । परं भूयः प्रवक्ष्यामि ज्ञानानां ज्ञानमुत्तमम् । यज्ज्ञात्वा मुनयः सर्वे परां सिद्धिमितो गताः॥६-३६-१॥

The Blessed Lord said: Again I shall declare the supreme knowledge—the highest among knowledges—knowing which all sages have gone from here to the highest perfection.

english translation

इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यमागताः । सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च॥६-३६-२॥

Relying on this knowledge, they attain a state akin to mine; they are not born even at creation, and they are not distressed at dissolution.

english translation

मम योनिर्महद्ब्रह्म तस्मिन्गर्भं दधाम्यहम् । संभवः सर्वभूतानां ततो भवति भारत॥६-३६-३॥

My womb is the great Brahman; in that I place the seed. From that arises the origination of all beings, O Bhārata.

english translation

सर्वयोनिषु कौन्तेय मूर्तयः संभवन्ति याः । तासां ब्रह्म महद्योनिरहं बीजप्रदः पिता॥६-३६-४॥

O son of Kuntī, whatever embodied forms arise in all wombs, for them Brahman is the great womb, and I am the father who bestows the seed.

english translation

सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति गुणाः प्रकृतिसंभवाः । निबध्नन्ति महाबाहो देहे देहिनमव्ययम्॥६-३६-५॥

Sattva, rajas, and tamas—these guṇas born of prakṛti—bind, O mighty-armed one, the imperishable embodied self within the body.
