14.4 Whatever form, the same womb Krishna speaks

सर्वयोनिषु कौन्तेय मूर्तयः सम्भवन्ति याः
तासां ब्रह्म महद्योनिरहं बीजप्रदः पिता

sarva-yoniṣhu kaunteya mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ
tāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā

Whatever forms arise in any womb, son of Kunti, the great nature is their womb, and I am the father who gives the seed.

Explanation

Whatever the form, the womb is the same.

Any shape arising in any womb — the great nature is its womb, and I am the father who gives the seed.

Stated for all forms without exception, which quietly rules out a hierarchy of creatures. It is the metaphysical version of 5.18: brahmin, cow, elephant, dog, and one origin for all of them.
