Werset 2.20

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन्

नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः ।

अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो

न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे ॥

ajo nityaḥ śāśvato'yaṃ purāṇo

na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre ||

Objaśnienie

In a longer metre, Krishna gives a sequence of negations. The self is never born and never dies; it does not come into being and then pass away. It is unborn, eternal, everlasting and ancient (purāṇa), and it is not killed when the body is killed. The verse sounds almost like a hymn, and its rhythm slows the dialogue down. It sums up the argument of the preceding lines and states the nature of the self (ātman) in the most direct form found in the chapter.
