Explication

Krishna returns to the cosmic cycles described in the previous chapter. At the end of a kalpa, a cosmic age, all beings return into his nature (prakṛti). At the start of the next age, he sends them forth again. The verse places Krishna as the one who governs creation and dissolution. Unlike beings who are carried along by the cycle, he initiates it. The image is of a vast breathing in and breathing out of the universe, which continues without beginning or end.
