The foolish think of Me, the Unmanifest, as having manifestation, knowing not My higher, immutable and most excellent nature.

Those without understanding think of me, the unmanifest, as having come into manifest form, not knowing my higher being, imperishable and unsurpassed.

Those who lack understanding think of Krishna, who is unmanifest (avyakta), as merely having come into manifest form, like any other being. They do not know his higher nature, which is imperishable and unsurpassed. The verse addresses a natural mistake: seeing Krishna as a human prince and charioteer and nothing more. Traditions read it in various ways, some stressing the formless reality behind the form, others stressing that his form itself is divine and not a product of ordinary nature.
