अथ चैनं नित्यजातं नित्यं वा मन्यसे मृतम् | तथापि त्वं महाबाहो नैवं शोचितुमर्हसि
atha cainaṃ nityajātaṃ nityaṃ vā manyase mṛtam . tathāpi tvaṃ mahābāho naivaṃ śocitumarhasi
另一方面,即使你认为这个(真我)不断出生,或不断死亡,那么,哦,大臂者(阿周那),你也不应如此悲伤。
On the other hand, if you think this One is born continually or dies constantly, even then, O mighty-armed one, you ought not to grieve thus.
克里希那勋爵在此为了论证,采纳了一种普遍的假设。即使真我随着身体的诞生而反复出生,又随着身体的死亡而反复死亡,哦,大臂者(指英勇强壮的阿周那),你也不应因此悲伤,因为出生者必将死亡,死亡者也必将重生。这是不可抗拒的自然法则。
Lord Krishna here? for the sake of argument? takes up the popular supposition. Granting that the Self is again and again born whenever a body comes into being? and again and again dies whenever the body dies? O mightyarmed (O Arjuna of great valour and strength)? thou shouldst not grieve thus? because birth is inevitable to want is dead and death is inevitable to what is born. This is the inexorable or unrelenting Law of Nature.
