Translated to English Poetry (Ode) using #gemini

Thus Field, and Knowledge, and the Known sublime,

My devotee, who grasps this truth through time;

In brief have been by Me succinctly told,

My very state, with grace, he shall unfold.

Know both Prakriti and the Soul to be

And all effects and qualities you see;

Beginningless, from primal source they spring,

From Prakriti's inherent nature bring.

Prakriti is the cause of deed and doer's art,

The Purusha, for pleasure's joyous heart;

Of instruments that work, and all effects,

Or pain's keen sting, its karma then directs.

The Purusha, within Prakriti found,

His bond to these, on earthly, karmic ground;

Enjoys the qualities from her that rise,

In good or evil wombs, his birth implies.

The Witness, Permitter, Sustainer, Lord so great,

The Param-Atma, in this mortal state;

The Experiencer, the Almighty King,

Is He, the Supreme Soul, from whom all blessings spring.

Who thus the Purusha and Prakriti knows,

Though acting ever, where life's current flows;

With all her qualities, in truth's clear light,

No more he's born, but gains eternal flight.
