Bhagavad Gita 13.21

पुरुषः प्रकृतिस्थो हि भुङ्क्ते प्रकृतिजान्गुणान्।कारणं गुणसङ्गोऽस्य सदसद्योनिजन्मसु॥

puruṣaḥ prakṛtistho hi bhuṅkte prakṛtijānguṇān |kāraṇaṃ guṇasaṅgo'sya sadasadyonijanmasu ||

The soul seated in Nature experiences the qualities born of Nature; attachment to the qualities is the cause of its birth in good and evil wombs.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

God, dwelling in the heart of Nature, experiences the qualities that Nature brings forth; and His affinity towards these qualities is the reason for His living in a good or evil body.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)
