In English by Swami Adidevananda
I am also that which is the seed of all beings, O Arjuna. Nothing that moves or does not move exists without Me.
In English by Swami Sivananda
And whatever is the seed of all beings, that too am I, O Arjuna; there is no being, be it moving or unmoving, that can exist without Me.
In Hindi by Swami Ramsukhdas
।।10.39।। हे अर्जुन! सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंका जो बीज है, वह बीज मैं ही हूँ; क्योंकि मेरे बिना कोई भी चर-अचर प्राणी नहीं है अर्थात् चर-अचर सब कुछ मैं ही हूँ।
In English by Swami Sivananda
10.39 यत् which, च and, अपि also, सर्वभूतानाम् among all beings, बीजम् seed, तत् that, अहम् I, अर्जुन O Arjuna, न not, तत् that, अस्ति is, विना without, यत् which, स्यात् may be, मया by Me, भूतम् being, चराचरम् moving or unmoving.Commentary I am the primeval seed from which all creation has come into existence. I am the seed of everything. I am the Self of everything. Nothing can exist without Me. Everything is of My nature. I am the essence of everything. Without Me all things would be mere void. I am the soul of everything.
In Hindi by Swami Ramsukhdas
।।10.39।। व्याख्या--'यच्चापि सर्वभूतानां बीजं तदमहर्जुन'--यहाँ भगवान् समस्त विभूतियोंका सार बताते हैं कि सबका बीज अर्थात् कारण मैं ही हूँ। बीज कहनेका तात्पर्य है कि इस संसारका निमित्त कारण भी मैं हूँ और उपादान कारण भी मैं हूँ अर्थात् संसारको बनानेवाला भी मैं हूँ और संसाररूपसे बननेवाला भी मैं हूँ।भगवान्ने सातवें अध्यायके दसवें श्लोकमें अपनेको 'सनातन बीज', नवें अध्यायके अठारहवें श्लोकमें 'अव्यय बीज' और यहाँ केवल 'बीज' बताया है। इसका तात्पर्य है कि मैं ज्योंकात्यों रहता हुआ ही संसाररूपसे प्रकट हो जाता हूँ और संसाररूपसे प्रकट होनेपर भी मैं उसमें ज्यों-का-त्यों व्यापक रहता हूँ।
