Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

B.G 7.20

कामैस्तैस्तैर्हृतज्ञानाः प्रपद्यन्तेऽन्यदेवताः। तं तं नियममास्थाय प्रकृत्या नियताः स्वया ॥२०॥

Being robbed of knowledge by very many desires, they surrender to other deities, observing various rules and regulations governed by their own nature.

Gīta Bhāshya 7.20

'prakṛti' means one's own inherent nature.

प्रकृत्या स्वभावेन -

The word 'prakṛti' means, by their own inherent nature.

"स्वभावः प्रकृतिश्चैव संस्कारो वासनेति च।"

'Svabhāva' i.e. inherent nature, is termed indeed as 'Prakṛti'. Similarly, the term 'Saṁskāra', i.e. mental impressions, is also because of 'Vāsanā' i.e. subtle tendencies."

इत्यभिधानात् ॥२०॥

- thus stated in the dictionary.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
