वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम्। कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम्॥
vedavinashinam nityam ya enam ajam avyayam katham sa purushah partha kam ghatayati hanti kam
Translation
O Partha, how can a person who knows the soul to be indestructible, eternal, unborn, and imperishable — whom can they slay? Whom can they cause to be slain?
