Sanskrit
न च मत्स्थानि भूतानि पश्य मे योगमैश्वरम् । भूतभृन्न च भूतस्थो ममात्मा भूतभावनः ॥
na ca matsthāni bhūtāni paśya me yogam aiśvaram bhūtabhṛn na ca bhūtastho mamātmā bhūtabhāvanaḥ
Translation
Nor have beings root in Me; behold My sovereign Yoga! The support of beings, yet not rooted in beings, My Self their efficient cause.

Explanation
Continuing directly from verse 4, Krishna restates the paradox and then names it: this ungraspable relationship between the pervading source and the things pervaded is itself “sovereign yoga” (yogam aiśvaram) — mystic dominion, a different sense of the word from the disciplined-action meaning it carries in Chapter 2’s karma yoga. He is beings’ support and their efficient cause without being contained by them, closer to a Vedantic ground-of-being than to ordinary cause-and-effect.
