  • vāyuḥ — the wind
    Nominative of vāyu — wind. The chosen image for Bhagavān's agency in this verse. Vāyu in Vaiṣṇava cosmology is also a name of Hanumān, and prāṇa-vāyu sustains the body; the image is loaded with bhakti-resonance.
  • bhūta-kṛt — the creator of beings
    Compound: bhūta (created being) + kṛt (maker). The Lord as the maker of beings — His license to arrange them. Gauḍīyas: ownership grounds the right to līlā; only the Creator may play with creation.
  • ākṣipate bhūyaḥ — throws apart once again
    Phrase: ākṣipate (throws apart, hurls) + bhūyaḥ (again). The same forceful image — separation is real, not illusion. Gauḍīyas do not dissolve viyoga into māyā; they hold it as the necessary contrast that makes meeting infinite.
  • saṁyojya — having brought together
    Absolutive of saṁ-√yuj — bringing into union. Saṁyoga and viyoga are the bhakti-physics of all relationships. Kṛṣṇa explains His own arrangement in this technical vocabulary.
Just as the wind brings together masses of clouds, blades of grass, wisps of cotton and particles of dust, only to scatter them all again, so the creator deals with His created beings in the same way.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
Just as the wind brings together masses of clouds, blades of grass, wisps of cotton and particles of dust, only to scatter them all again, so the creator deals with His created beings in the same way.
Commentary

He gives an example to explain his point. Just as the wind unites and separates (aksipate) clouds, grass, dust and cotton, the lord unites and separates all entities.

Jīva Gosvāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

“That means the Lord is pitiless and unjust.” Just as clouds and other objects move by the whim of the wind, which is natural to it, not with some purpose, the Lord (bhūta-kṛt) also deals similarly with all beings.

Śrīdhara Svāmī Gauḍīya
Commentary

An example is given to strengthen the previous statement. As wind brings clouds (ghanānīkam) together and scatters them, the Lord or time, at the time of creation (bhūta-kṛt), brings entities together and then separates them.

Concepts
Jiva

The wind plays with clouds and dust today, scatters them tomorrow, and gathers a new combination next week — never the same arrangement twice. The Lord's līlā with His creation is not callousness but the playful momentum of an artist who never repeats Himself.
