aadi and anaadi

[Ravi]

In verse X:20 of giitaa, bhagavaan says I am aadi for all.  If he
is the "bhutaanam aadi kaaraNam", does this not contradict the
accepted notion, "saMsaara is anaadi"? How did this cosmos with
all the jiiva-s come into being?

"ahaM aadishcha madhyaM cha bhuutaanaM anta eva cha" X:20
