अविनाशि तु तद्विद्धि येन सर्वमिदं ततम् | विनाशमव्ययस्यास्य न कश्चित्कर्तुमर्हति
avināśi tu tadviddhi yena sarvamidaṃ tatam . vināśamavyayasyāsya na kaścitkartumarhati
當知那遍及這一切的，是不朽的。無人能使這不變者毀滅。
But know That to be indestructible by which all this is pervaded. None can bring about the destruction of this Immutable.
此偈頌描述了「真我」（Atman）永恆且遍在的本質，它是超越毀滅的。正如虛空遍及萬物，即使陶罐破碎，其內外的虛空亦無法被毀滅。同樣地，即使身體和所有其他事物消亡，遍及它們的梵（Brahman）或「真我」亦不會消亡。它是活生生的真理，是「薩特」（Sat，存在）。梵無部分，無增減，它是取之不盡的。因此，無人能使「真我」消失或毀滅。它恆常存在，永遠圓滿自足，是絕對的存在，是不可變的。
By Swami Sivananda2.17 अविनाशि indestructible? तु indeed? तत् That? विद्धि know (thou)? येन by which? सर्वम् all? इदम् this? ततम् is pervaded? विनाशम् destruction? अव्ययस्य अस्य of this Imperishable? न not? कश्चित् anyone? कर्तुम् to do? अर्हति is able.Commentary -- Brahman or Atman pervades all the objects like ether. Even if the pot is broken? the ether that is within and without the pot cannot be destroyed. Even so? if the bodies and all other objects perish? Brahman or the Self that pervades them cannot perish. It is the living Truth? Sat.Brahman has no parts. There cannot be either increase or diminution in Brahman. People are ruined by loss of wealth. But Brahman does not suffer any loss in that way. It is inexhaustible. Therefore? none can bring about the disappearance or destruction of the Self. It always exists. It is always allfull and selfcontained. It is Existence Absolute. It is immutable.
