rājavidyā rājaguhyaṃ pavitramidamuttamam |
pratyakṣāvagamaṃ dharmyaṃ susukhaṃ kartumavyayam ||9-2||

śloka 8 and 9
prakṛtiṃ svāmavaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ |
bhūtagrāmamimaṃ kṛtsnamavaśaṃ prakṛtervaśāt ||9-8||
na ca māṃ tāni karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanañjaya |
udāsīnavadāsīnamasaktaṃ teṣu karmasu ||9-9||
Translation
Having brought Prakriti under My control, I create this entire multitude of beings again and again, compelled by their own nature. O Dhananjaya! Those actions do not bind Me, the Supreme Self, who am unattached to them and remain as if indifferent.

mahātmānastu māṃ pārtha daivīṃ prakṛtimāśritāḥ |
bhajantyananyamanaso jñātvā bhūtādimavyayam ||9-13||

O Partha! But the great souls who take refuge in the divine nature, knowing Me as the primal cause of all beings and of imperishable form, worship Me with single-minded devotion.

ahaṃ kraturahaṃ yajñaḥ svadhāhamahamauṣadham |
mantro'hamahamevājyamahamagnirahaṃ hutam ||9-16||
Translation
I am the ritual; I am the sacrifice; I am the offering to the ancestors and the herb; I am the mantra; I am the clarified butter; I am the fire; and I am the oblation.

gatirbhartā prabhuḥ sākṣī nivāsaḥ śaraṇaṃ suhṛt |
prabhavaḥ pralayaḥ sthānaṃ nidhānaṃ bījamavyayam ||9-18||

śloka 20
traividyā māṃ somapāḥ pūtapāpā
yajñairiṣṭvā svargatiṃ prārthayante |
te puṇyamāsādya surendraloka-
maśnanti divyāndivi devabhogān ||9-20||
Translation
Those who know the three Vedas, drink the Soma and are purified of sin, worship Me through sacrifice desiring heaven; they attain the realm of Indra as the fruit of their merit and enjoy the celestial pleasures of the gods in heaven.
śloka 21
te taṃ bhuktvā svargalokaṃ viśālaṃ
kṣīṇe puṇye martyalokaṃ viśanti |
evaṃ trayīdharmamanuprapannā
gatāgataṃ kāmakāmā labhante ||9-21||
Translation
Having enjoyed that vast heavenly realm, their merit exhausted, they return to the world of mortals. Thus those who take refuge in the actions prescribed in the three Vedas and desire enjoyments attain the cycle of birth and death.

ahaṃ hi sarvayajñānāṃ bhoktā ca prabhureva ca |
na tu māmabhijānanti tattvenātaścyavanti te ||9-24||

Because I alone am the enjoyer and lord of all sacrifices, but they do not know Me in truth, therefore they fall, that is, they attain the world of transmigration.

bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā yānti madyājino'pi mām ||9-25||

Whatever devotee offers Me with devotion a leaf, flower, fruit, water and the like, I accept and partake of that devotionally offered offering (leaf, flower and so forth) of that pure-minded devotee.

yatkaroṣi yadaśnāsi yajjuhoṣi dadāsi yat |
yattapasyasi kaunteya tatkuruṣva madarpaṇam ||9-27||
Translation
O son of Kunti! Whatever action you perform, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give in charity, and whatever austerity you practise—offer all of that to Me.
