Sanskrit
प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः । भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् ॥
prakṛtiṃ svām avaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ bhūtagrāmam imaṃ kṛtsnam avaśaṃ prakṛter vaśāt
Translation
Hidden in Nature, which is mine own, I emanate again and again all this multitude of beings, helpless, by the force of Nature.
Annie Besant · The Bhagavad-Gita, translated by Annie Besant (4th ed., 1922) — Wikisource · Public Domain
Explanation
Restates verse 7 with an added emphasis on compulsion — beings are emanated “helpless” (avaśam), driven by nature’s own force rather than their own will. The repetition built into the line itself (“again and again,” punaḥ punaḥ) mirrors the cyclical content it describes: the verse’s form enacts the recurrence it names.
