Ch 9Verse 8
Adhyāya 9 Shloka 8

प्रकृतिं स्वामवष्टभ्य विसृजामि पुनः पुनः | भूतग्राममिमं कृत्स्नमवशं प्रकृतेर्वशात् || ८ ||

prakṛtiṃ svām avaṣṭabhya visṛjāmi punaḥ punaḥ | bhūta-grāmam imaṃ kṛtsnam avaśaṃ prakṛter vaśāt || 8 ||

"The whole cosmic order is under Me. Under My will it is automatically manifested again and again, and under My will it is annihilated at the end."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Krishna elaborates on the mechanics of creation. He states that by taking control of and utilizing His own material energy (prakṛtiṃ svām avaṣṭabhya), He generates and sends forth (visṛjāmi) this entire multitude of living beings (bhūta-grāmam imaṃ kṛtsnam) repeatedly, again and again (punaḥ punaḥ). He adds a crucial detail: these beings are completely helpless and powerless (avaśaṃ) because they are under the strict control and compelling force of material nature (prakṛter vaśāt).
