Transcript of Bhakti-Shastri class on this verse by Chaitanya Charan

After this the last four verses are the summary sort of verses.

Bg 10.39

yac cāpi sarva-bhūtānāṁ
bījaṁ tad aham arjuna
na tad asti vinā yat syān
mayā bhūtaṁ carācaram

Word for word: 

yat — whatever; ca — also; api — may be; sarva–bhūtānām — of all creations; bījam — seed; tat — that; aham— I am; arjuna — O Arjuna; na — not; tat — that; asti — there is; vinā — without; yat — which; syāt — exists;mayā — Me; bhūtam — created being; cara–acaram — moving and nonmoving.

Translation: 

Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being – moving or nonmoving – that can exist without Me.

 

yac cāpi sarva-bhūtānāṁ, for all living beings I am the Bija 

bījaṁ tad aham Arjuna, I am the seed for all living beings 

na tad asti vinā yat syān, that without mayā bhūtaṁ carācaram, without Me nothing can exist. 

Earlier we have discussed in 7th & 9th Chapter that Krishna is source and sustainer of everything, now Krishna is reiterating that.

In the beginning of this section, Pradhana Sreshta… He said I am going to speak only on main opulences. 

When Krishna said that His vibhuti is like shark in fishes that doesn’t mean that Krishna doesn’t have affection towards other fishes or living being that simply means that the attractive feature in Shark is an opulence of Krishna so Krishna clarifies in this verse that actually everything is sustained by Me. Not only I am source of everything but also the sustainer of everything. Even His Vibhutis are endless.
