Rendering based on ALkoNdavilli gOvindhAchArya swAmy’s English translation of gIthA bhAshyam
‘And, of the strong, I am the strength, divorced from lust and love. And desire, unconflicting with virtue (dharma), I am, O Chief of Bhāratas!’
All these things of distinguishing qualities are sprung from Me alone. They are My belongings, and constitute My body. Hence they are ever in Me. Hence I am the Sole Existence, they standing to Me in the relation of My predicates.
Things are now viewed in another way:—
