জগৎকারণ নহে প্রকৃতি জড়রূপা ।
শক্তি সঞ্চারিয়া তারে কৃষ্ণ করে কৃপা ॥ ৫৯ ॥

jagat-karana nahe prakrti jada-rupa

sakti sancariya tare krsna kare krpa

SYNONYMS

jagat-of the material world; karana-the cause; nahe-cannot be; prakrti-the material nature; jada-rupa-dull, without action; sakti-energy; sancariya-infusing; tare-unto the dull material nature; krsna-Lord Krsna; kare-shows; krpa-mercy.

Because prakrti is dull and inert, it cannot actually be the cause of the material world. But Lord Krsna shows His mercy by infusing His energy into the dull, inert material nature.
