Madhvacharya's Dvaita Vedanta and translation of Sarvamoola containing Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Brahmasutra.

Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

kāmaistaistairhr̥tajñānāḥ prapadyante'nyadevatāḥ। taṁ taṁ niyamamāsthāya prakr̥tyā niyatāḥ svayā ॥20॥

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

'prakṛti' means one's own inherent nature.

prakr̥tyā svabhāvena

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

"svabhāvaḥ prakr̥tiścaiva saṁskāro vāsaneti ca।"

'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."

ityabhidhānāt ॥20॥

- 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
