अहिंसा, समता, संतोष, तप, दान, यश और अपयश — प्राणियों के ये विविध भाव मुझसे ही उत्पन्न होते हैं।
English Translation
Non-violence, equanimity, contentment, austerity, charity, fame, and infamy — these various states of beings arise from Me alone.
Commentary (टीका)
Completing the enumeration begun in the previous verse, Krishna asserts that all states of being — whether virtuous or otherwise — originate from Him. This is not an endorsement of negative qualities but a declaration of His role as the ultimate source of all existence. The diversity of human nature reflects the infinite creativity of the Divine.
