11. O king, do thou understand that His appearing among, and disappearing from among, mortals (Yadavas and others) and the other activities on the part of the Lord, the cause of all, are but imitative sport through His Maya like those of an actor, and that by virtue of His own infinite powers He Himself creates and enters into this Universe and having at the end withdrawn Himself from the view of the world He remains only in His eternal blissful state.
