And whatever is the seed of all beings, the cause of their sprouting, that am I, O Arjuna. To round off the topic He states the glory in brief: there is no being, moving or unmoving, that could be without Me. Drawn away from Me, abandoned, it would be selfless, void. Therefore all has Me for its self.

Of all beings, abiding in every state, the seed of this and that state, whether perceived or not perceived, that I am. Of the whole brood of beings, moving and unmoving, whatever there could be without Me who abide as their self, there is no such thing; as the lead-in 'I am the self, Gudakesha, seated in the seat of all beings' shows, here too, in 'there is no thing, moving or unmoving, that could be without Me', the abiding as the self alone is meant. The meaning is that the whole brood of things, abiding in every state, is joined with Me who am its self. By this the Lord makes plain that the abiding of all this as the self is itself the ground for the grammatical co-ordination of all this.

This is a brief sub-gloss. For a fuller reading of this verse, see Madhusūdana, Śaṅkara, or Rāmānuja above.

There is no being that could exist apart from Me. So the Moksha-dharma has, 'O of universal form, O reaching the endless, O of endless portion, O endlessly-going, O endless, O beginningless', and the like.
