Verse 39
The Yoga of Divine Glories
Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being — moving or nonmoving — that can exist without Me.
Context & Meaning
The summary principle behind the entire catalogue: I am the seed of all beings. There is nothing — in all of existence, animate or inanimate, moving or still — that exists without Me. The list of vibhūtis is not exhaustive but illustrative. The underlying truth is total: there is no corner of reality in which the Divine is absent.

VishishtadvaitaBījam — seed — is the final image: the Divine is not merely the highest in each category, but the generative source of all categories. Everything that exists carries within it the presence of the One from whom it arose.
