In English by Swami Adidevananda
Though I am birthless and of immutable nature, and the Lord of all beings, yet by employing My own Nature (Prakrti), I am born out of My own free will.
In English by Swami Sivananda
Though I am unborn and of imperishable nature, and though I am the Lord of all beings, yet, governing my own nature, I am born by my own Maya.
In Hindi by Swami Ramsukhdas
।।4.6।। मैं अजन्मा और अविनाशी-स्वरूप होते हुए भी तथा सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंका ईश्वर होते हुए भी अपनी प्रकृतिको अधीन करके अपनी योगमायासे प्रकट होता हूँ।
In English by Swami Sivananda
4.6 अजः unborn, अपि also, सन् being, अव्ययात्मा of imperishable nature, भूतानाम् of beings, ईश्वरः the Lord, अपि also, सन् being, प्रकृतिम् Nature, स्वाम् My own, अधिष्ठाय governing, संभवामि come into being, आत्ममायया by My own Maya.Commentary Man is bound by Karma. So he takes birth. He is under the clutches of Nature. He,is deluded by the three alities of Nature whereas the Lord has Maya under His perfect control. He rules over Nature, and so He is not under the thraldom of the alities o Nature. He appears to be born and embodied through His own Maya or illusory power, but is not so in reality. His embodiment is , as a matter of fact, apparent, It cannot affect in the least His true divine nature. (Cf.IX.8).
