Translation

And whatever is the seed of all beings, that too am I, O Arjuna; there is no being, be it moving or unmoving, that can exist without Me.

Hindi translation

हे अर्जुन! सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंका जो बीज है, वह बीज मैं ही हूँ; क्योंकि मेरे बिना कोई भी चर-अचर प्राणी नहीं है अर्थात् चर-अचर सब कुछ मैं ही हूँ।

Meaning

I am the primeval seed from which all creation has come into existence. I am the seed of everything. I am the Self of everything. Nothing can exist without Me. Everything is of My nature. I am the essence of everything. Without Me all things would be mere void. I am the soul of everything.
