Verse 15 (SB 11.24.15)
SB 11.24.15 • मूल श्लोक
मया कालात्मना धात्रा कर्मयुक्तमिदं जगत् । गुणप्रवाह एतस्मिन्नुन्मज्जति निमज्जति ॥ १५ ॥
Transliteration
mayā kālātmanā dhātrā karma-yuktam idaṁ jagat guṇa-pravāha etasminn unmajjati nimajjati
Synonyms (Word-for-Word)
mayā — by Me; kāla-ātmanā — who contains the energy of time; dhātrā — the creator; karma-yuktam — full of fruitive activities; idam — this; jagat — world; guṇa-pravāhe — in the mighty current of the modes; etasmin — in this; unmajjati — one rises up; nimajjati — one drowns.
Translation
“All results of fruitive work have been arranged within this world by Me, the supreme creator acting as the force of time. Thus one sometimes rises up toward the surface of this mighty river of the modes of nature and sometimes again submerges.”
Bhaktivedanta Purport
By Śrīla PrabhupādaUnmajjati refers to one’s promotion to the higher planetary systems, as mentioned in previous verses, and nimajjati refers to being submerged in a miserable condition of life by impious activities. In both cases one is drowning within the mighty river of material existence, which carries one far away from one’s real home in the kingdom of God.
