sarva-bhutani kaunteya prakritim yanti mamikam। kalpa-ksaye punas tani kalpadau visrjamy aham॥ 9.7 ॥

Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, at the end of the millennium all material manifestations enter into My nature, and at the beginning of another millennium, by My potency, I create them again.

prakritim svam avastabhya visrijami punah punah। bhuta-gramam imam krtsnam avasam prakriter vasat॥ 9.8 ॥

Sri Krishna said: The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end.

na cha mam tani karmani nibadhnanti dhananjaya। udasina-vad asinam asaktam tesu karmasu॥ 9.9 ॥

Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, all this work cannot bind Me. I am ever detached from all these material activities, seated as though neutral.

"mayadhyaksena prakritih suyate sa-characharam। hetunanena kaunteya jagad viparivartate॥ 9.10 ॥

Sri Krishna said: This material nature, which is one of My energies, is working under My direction, O Arjuna, producing all moving and non-moving beings. Under its rule this manifestation is created and annihilated again and again.

avajananti mam mudha manusim tanum asritam। param bhavam ajananto mama bhuta-maheshvaram॥ 9.11 ॥

Sri Krishna said: Fools not knowing my supreme nature, deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all   beings.

"moghasa mogha-karmano mogha-jnana vicetasah। rakshasim asurim chaiva prakritim mohinim sritah॥ 9.12 ॥

Sri Krishna said: Those who are thus bewildered are attracted by demonic and atheistic views. In that deluded condition, their hopes for liberation, their fruitive activities, and their culture of knowledge are all defeated.
