Under Me as supervisor, Nature produces the moving and the unmoving; because of this, O Arjuna, the world revolves.

With me as overseer, nature brings forth all that moves and does not move; for this reason, son of Kunti, the world turns round.

Under Krishna's oversight, nature (prakṛti) brings forth all that moves and does not move. Because of this, the world keeps turning. The verse clarifies the relation between Krishna and nature: nature is the active power, while Krishna is the adhyakṣa, the overseer or presiding presence. He does not do the work in the way a craftsman does, yet nothing happens without him. This explains how he can be the source of the world and still remain unattached to its activity.
