।।7.5।।यह ( उपर्युक्त ) मेरी अपरा प्रकृति है अर्थात् परा नहीं किंतु निकृष्ट है अशुद्ध है और अनर्थ करनेवाली है एवं संसारबन्धनरूपा है। और हे महाबाहो इस उपर्युक्त प्रकृतिमें दूसरी जीवरूपा अर्थात् प्राणधारणकी निमित्त बनी हुई जो क्षेत्रज्ञरूपा प्रकृति है अन्तरमें प्रवृष्ट हुई जिस प्रकृतिद्वारा यह समस्त जगत् धारण किया जाता है उसको तू मेरी परा प्रकृति जान अर्थात् उसे मेरी आत्मरूपा उत्तम और शुद्ध प्रकृति जान।

English Translation Of Sri Shankaracharya's Sanskrit Commentary By Swami Gambirananda

7.5 O mighty-armed one, iyam, this; is apara, the inferior (Prakrti)-not the higher, (but)-the impure, the source of evil and having the nature of worldly bondage. Viddhi, know; anyam, the other, pure; prakrtim, Prakrti; me, of Mine, which is essentially Myself; which, tu, however;is param, higher, more exalted; itah, than this (Prakrti) already spoken of; Jiva-bhutam, which has taken the form of the individual souls, which is characterized as 'the Knower of the body (field)', and which is the cause of sustenance of life; and yaya, by which Prakriti; idam, this; jagat, world; dharyate, is upheld, by permeating it.
