सर्वयोनिषु कौन्तेय मूर्तयः सम्भवन्ति याः । तासां ब्रह्म महद्योनिरहं बीजप्रदः पिता ॥ ४ ॥
sarva-yoniṣhu kaunteya mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ tāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā
Translation
Whatever forms are born in all the wombs, O son of Kunti, the great Brahman is their womb and I am the seed-giving father.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे कौन्तेय! सब योनियों में जितनी भी मूर्तियाँ (शरीर) उत्पन्न होती हैं, उन सबकी योनि महत् ब्रह्म (प्रकृति) है और मैं बीज देने वाला पिता हूँ।
Commentary
This verse is the basis for the idea that every living being, human or animal, shares one father. It is a strong ground for the Gita's teaching of equal vision (samadarshana) in 5.18 and 6.29. Nature is the mother of all bodies; God is the father of all souls.
