Bhagavad Gita 4.13

Jnana Karma Sanyasa Yoga

चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागश: | तस्य कर्तारमपि मां विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम् ||

cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ tasya kartāram api māṁ viddhy akartāram avyayam

English

According to the three modes of material nature and the work associated with them, the four divisions of human society are created by Me. And although I am the creator of this system, know Me to be the non-doer and eternal.

हिन्दी

गुण और कर्म के विभाग के अनुसार चार वर्णों की रचना मैंने की है। इसके कर्ता होने पर भी तू मुझे अकर्ता और अविनाशी ही जान।
