हे पृथानन्दन! जो मनुष्य इस शरीरीको अविनाशी, नित्य, जन्मरहित और अव्यय जानता है, वह कैसे किसको मारे और कैसे किसको मरवाये?। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
