<< Chapter 9 Verse 19 >>
<   >

तपाम्यहमहं वर्षं निगृह्णाम्युत्सृजामि च ।
अमृतं चैव मृत्युश्च सदसच्चाहमर्जुन ।। ९.१९ ।।

tapāmy-aham-ahaṁ varṣaṁ nigṛhṇāmy-utsṛjāmi ca |
amṛtaṁ caiva mṛtyuś-ca sad-asac-cāham-arjuna || 9.19 ||

     

Now the common large-scale functions in the world are mentioned: Causing heat, bringing rain and withholding it, immortality (amrtam), death (mrtyuh), being and non-being (sad-asad) alike. All are but pointers to the same Supreme (9.19).
