वेदाविनाशिनं नित्यं य एनमजमव्ययम् ।
कथं स पुरुषः पार्थ कं घातयति हन्ति कम् ॥21॥
vedāvināśinaṃ nityaṃ ya enamajamavyayam
kathaṃ sa puruṣaḥ pārtha kaṃ ghātayati hanti kam
veda = knows; avināśinaṃ = indestructible; nityaṃ = always existing; yaḥ = one who; enaṃ = this (soul); ajaṃ = unborn; avyayaṃ = immutable; kathaṃ = how; saḥ = that; puruṣaḥ = person; pārtha = O Partha (Arjuna); kaṃ = whom; ghātayati = causes to hurt; hanti = kills; kaṃ = whom.;
Whosoever knows Him to be Indestructible, Eternal, Unborn, and Inexhaustible, how can that man slay, O Partha, or cause others to be slain?
