3.mama yonih mahath brahma thasmin garbham
Dhadhaamyaham
sambhavaH sarvabhoothaanaam thathaH bhavathi bhaaratha
The moolaprkrthi, mahath brahma, is the origin of all creations and I place the seed of all beings from which the whole creation arises, Oh Arjuna.
The whole universe of sentient and insentient beings originate from the moolaprkrthi known as avyaktha, the unmanifest and as pradhana, the first evolute being the mahath or buddhi, which has been elaborated in the previous chapter. The moola prakrhti is referred to here as mahath brahma. But the inanimate prakrthi is not the creator but it is the Supreme Purusha who is placing the seed of creation in the prkrthi, from which all beings originate.
4.sarvayonishu kountheya moorthayaH sambhavanthi yaaH
Thaasaam brahma mahath yoniH aham beejapradhaH pithaa
The embodiment of all beings that happens in all sources originate only from the moolaprakrthi and I am the father of all by placing the seed in the womb called moolaprakrthi.
Hence the Lord is the father of creation. The prkrthi as a result evolves into the gross universe and the embodiment that results in different kinds of wombs such as deva, manushya, thiryang, sThaavara yonis, is from the Lord only. This concept of Vedanta is different from that of sankhya school according to which the prkrthi creates itself by the gunas combining with each other due to the proximity of purusha.The yoga philosophy advocated by Pathanjali, there is a Supreme Purusha but He is not identical with the Brahman of the Upanishads who existed alone in the beginning one only without a second and even the prkrthi came out of Him only. The word Prkrthi in Vedanta stands for the aggregates that constitute the universe starting from the three gunas down to the gross universe while the moola prakrthi is theire unmanifest state existing in Brahman.
5.satthvam rajasthama ithi gunaaH prakrthisambhavaaH
NibaDhnanthi mahaabaaho dhehe dhehinam avyayam
The three gunas, satthva, rajas and thamas which originate from the prkrthi bind the individual soul, who is imperishable , to the body Arjuna.
Therefore the three gunas, satthva , rajas and thamas which are elaborated in the subsequent slokas, are responsible for the further evolution of prkrthi into the gross universe down to the individual bodies of beings and the soul, purusha , ever free and imperishable is delude in to believing that he is bound to the body by the interaction of the three gunas.
