This is one of the most sociologically and historically explosive verses in the text. Krishna declares: The system of the four social orders (cātur-varṇyaṃ) was created by Me (mayā sṛṣṭaṃ). How was it divided? Strictly according to the divisions of qualities and actions (guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ). He then adds a profound theological paradox: Even though I am the creator of this system (tasya kartāram api māṃ), you must know Me to be the non-doer and absolutely unchangeable (viddhy akartāram avyayam).
