B.G 13.20
prakṛtiṃ puruṣaṃ caiva viddhyanādī ubhāvapi। vikārāṃśca guṇāṃścaiva viddhi prakṛtisambhavān ॥20॥
Understand that both 'Prakrti', i.e. insentient and the 'Puruṣa' are without beginning; know that distortions and qualities are indeed born of 'Prakrti'.
Gīta Bhāshya 13.20
The statement summarizes the Prakrti, i.e. insentient, its distortions, and the being. Subtle distortions in three qualities at the time of cosmic creation manifest into action and inaction.
yataśca yat iti vaktuṃ prakṛtivikārapuruṣān saṅkṣipyāha- prakṛtiṃ iti।
The statement summarizes the Prakrti, i.e. insentient, its distortions, and the being by the verse 'prakṛtiṃ' modifications, and persons by saying 'nature'.
guṇāḥ sattvādayaḥ। teṣāṃ atyalpaḥ viśeṣaḥ layāt sarge iti vikārāḥ pṛthaguktāḥ।
The qualities such as sattva and others have very little distinct variation between dissolution and creation; thus, their distortions are mentioned separately.
"kāryākāryā guṇāstisraḥ yataḥ svalpodbhavo janau॥"
iti mādhucchandasasakhāyām ॥20॥
"The action and inaction arise in people with subtle variances in the three qualities."
-stated thus in the branch of Madhucchandas (Vedic testimonial).
