Read the commentary
Prakṛti is the Lord’s Māyā composed of three gunas. So the Mantra reads.
“Let him know that Māyā is the Prakṛti and that the Great Lord is the possessor of Māyā.”—(Svetasvatara-Up. 4-10.)
By Prakṛti,—i.e., Māyā, the Śakti or inherent energy of the Lord, not the other, i.e., not the (Pradhāna, the self-existent) Prakṛti (of the Sāṅkhyas) described as transforming Itself into causes and effects such as the Mahat,—are done all sorts of actions, whether done in speech, thought, or deed. He sees, who realises this truth and also the truth that the Self (Kṣhetrajṇa) is devoid of all upadhis or conditions :—i.e., he sees the supreme truth. There is no evidence to show that there is any variety in Him who is non-agent, unconditioned, and free from all specialities, just as there is no variety in the akasa.
