Vedaavinaashinam nityam ya enam ajam avyayam; Katham sa purushah paartha kam ghaatayati hanti kam. (2- 21)
O Partha, Whoever realizes It as the indestructible, eternal, unborn, and immutable: how and whom can such a person, cause to be slain, or slay?
वासािं स जीणाि न यथा िवहाय नवािन गृ ाित नरोऽपरािण। तथा शरीरािण िवहाय जीणा- ािन सयं ाित नवािन दहे ी॥
Vaasaamsi jeernaani yathaa vihaaya Navaani grihnaati naro’paraani;
Tathaa shareeraani vihaaya jeernaas Nyanyaani samyaati navaani dehee. (2-22)
Just as, laying aside out-worn vestment, a person puts on new ones; so laying aside out-worn bodies, the body’s owner passes on into new ones.
ननै ं िछि शािण ननै ं दहित पावकः। नचनै ंेदयापोनशोषयितमातः॥
Nainam cchindanti shastraani nainam dahati paavakah; Na chainam kledayantyaapo na shoshayati maarutah. (2- 23)
Weapons do not cleave It: nor fire burns It; neither do the waters drench It, nor does the wind desiccate It.
