Explanation

After naming many particular glories, Krishna steps back to the general principle. Whatever is the seed, the originating cause, of all beings is he. Nothing that moves or stays still could exist without him. The image of the seed suggests something small that holds the whole tree within it, and something present inside what grows from it. The verse prevents a misunderstanding: the list might seem to say that the divine is found only in the best of each class, but here Krishna makes clear that every being without exception depends on him.
