Slokam - 13.

"This  chapter is very important, hence kindly  follow  and  understand  each  slokam  well."

-----------------------------

Slokam-13 :. 

"Gamavisya  ca  bhutani  dharayamyahamojasa,

pushnami  caushadhih  sarvah   somo  bhutva  rasatmakah."

------------------------------------------------

Translation :

ca  =  not  only  that;

aham  gam  avisya  =  I  entered  the  earth,  then;

 ojasa  =  with  My  capacity;

bhutani  dharayami  =  sustaining  the  living  beings;

rasatmakah   somah  bhutva  =  acting  as  the  moon,  which  is  in  the  liquid  form;

sarvah  aushadhih  =  all  the  plant  kingdom  too;

pushnami   ca  =  sustaining  too.

-----------------------------

Tattvam (Essence)

Slokam-13.  I enter into each planet, and by My energy they stay in orbit. I become the moon and thereby supply the juice of life to all vegetables.

---------------------------------

 Discourse :

Continuing Lord Krishna states that He enters into every particle of earth with His energy, prevading over all the Earth with His prowess and supports all moving and non-moving jivas or embodied beings. He, Himself is the luminousity of moonlight which nourishes all herbs and crops such as rice, fruits an grains.

----------------------------

he word gam means earth and denotes the Earth. The word ojasa means indomitable potency. Lord Krishna enters into every atom of the Earth by this potency and supports all mobile and stationary jivas or embodied beings by this potency. He also manifests the energy of the moon whose nature is ambrosial and which nourishes all plants, vegetables, fruits and herbs, yielding crops such as rice and grains.

----------------------------------

The all pervading potency of Lord Krishna is in the Earth by which He permeates sustaining and nourishing all movable and immovable jivas or embodied beings by His ojasa or irresistable potency and bmanifesting as the ambrosial nectar of the moon he nourishes all plant life such as herbs, vegetables, fruits and grains.

------------------------------

The word gam stated by Lord Krishna means Earth and within the earth.

It is understood that all the planets are floating in the air only by the energy of the Lord. 

The Lord enters into every atom, every planet, and every living being. 

That is discussed in the Brahma-samhita. 

It is said there that one plenary portion of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Paramatma, enters into the planets, the universe, the living entity, and even into the atom. 

So due to His entrance, everything is appropriately manifested. 

----------------------------------------

When the spirit soul is there, a living man can float on the water, but when the living spark is out of the body and the body is dead, it sinks. Of course when it is decomposed it floats just like straw and other things, but as soon as the man is dead, he at once sinks in the water. 

Similarly, all these planets are floating in space, and this is due to the entrance of the supreme energy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. 

His energy is sustaining each planet, just like a handful of dust. 

If someone holds a handful of dust, there is no possibility of the dust falling, but if one throws it in the air, it will fall down. 

Similarly, these planets, which are floating in air, are actually held in the fist of the universal form of the Supreme Lord. 

-----------------------------

By His strength and energy, all moving and unmoving things stay in their place. 

It is said that because of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the sun is shining and the planets are steadily moving. 

Were it not for Him, all the planets would scatter, like dust in air, and perish. 

Similarly, it is due to the Supreme Personality of Godhead that the moon nourishes all vegetables. 

Due to the moon's influence, the vegetables become delicious. 

Without the moonshine, the vegetables can neither grow nor taste succulent. 

Human society is working, living comfortably and enjoying food due to the supply from the Supreme Lord. 

Otherwise, mankind could not survive. 

The word rasatmakah is very significant. 

Everything becomes palatable by the agency of the Supreme Lord through the influence of the moon.
