Shri Purohit Swami

हे कुन्तीनन्दन ! सम्पूर्ण योनियोंमें प्राणियोंके जितने शरीर पैदा होते हैं, उन सबकी मूल प्रकृति तो माता है और मैं बीज-स्थापन करनेवाला पिता हूँ।

हे कौन्तेय ! समस्त योनियों में जितनी मूर्तियाँ (शरीर) उत्पन्न होती हैं, उन सबकी योनि अर्थात् गर्भ है महद्ब्रह्म और मैं बीज की स्थापना करने वाला पिता हूँ।
