Permeating the earth I support all beings by (My) energy; and having become the watery moon I nourish all herbs.

Entering the earth, I sustain all beings by my power, and becoming Soma, the essence of sap, I nourish all plants.

The list continues from light to life. Krishna says he enters the earth and holds up all beings by his strength, and as Soma, here understood as the nourishing essence of sap and moisture, he feeds every plant. In Vedic thought Soma is linked with the moon and with the life-giving fluids of growth. The verse asks Arjuna to see the steady support of the ground and the quiet growth of plants as expressions of one sustaining power.
