5.21.21

brahmovāca |
kimidaṃ prārthanīyaṃ vo viparītaṃ tu sarvathā |
adeyaṃ sarvathā sarvaiḥ sarvebhyo bhuvanatraye ||

Brahmâ said:-- Is this the boon that you ask? This is in every way, against the Law of Nature; for no one, in these three Lokas, can grant this boon to anybody. When one becomes born, one must die; and when one dies, one must be born again. This Law is ordained in this world by the Supreme Creator of this Universe, from time immemorial. Therefore all the beings must die; there is no doubt in this. Better ask any other boon that you desire; I will grant that to you.
