sāṃkhyayoga - Verse śloka 20
śloka 20
na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin
nāyaṃ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ |
ajo nityaḥ śāśvato'yaṃ purāṇo
na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre ||2-20||
Translation
This Atman is never born nor does it ever die; nor having once been, does it cease to be. This Atman is unborn, eternal, everlasting and ancient; it is not destroyed when the body is destroyed.
