# Bhagavadgita 2.20

Vulgate (700 verses) 2.20

- **Language:** Sanskrit

### [2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darsana.all.gita*vulgate.2.20)

na jāyate mriyate vā kadācin  
nāyaṃ bhūtvā bhavitā vā na bhūyaḥ  
ajo nityaḥ śāśvatoyaṃ purāṇo  
na hanyate hanyamāne śarīre

> This in never born, nor does It die. It is not that not having been It again comes into being. (Or according to another view: It is not that having been It again ceases to be). This is unborn, eternal, changeless, ever-Itself. It is not killed when the body is killed.  
> — Swami Swarupananda 1909, Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita
