Translations
These bodies of the embodied Self, which are eternal, indestructible, and immeasurable, are said to have an end. Therefore, fight, O Arjuna.
The material bodies that this Eternal, Indestructible, and Immeasurable Spirit inhabits are all finite; therefore, fight, O valiant man!
These destructible bodies are said to belong to the everlasting, indestructible, and indeterminable embodied One. Therefore, O descendant of Bharata, join the battle.
अविनाशी, अप्रमेय और नित्य रहनेवाले इस शरीरी के ये देह अन्तवाले कहे गये हैं। इसलिये हे अर्जुन! तुम युद्ध करो।Commentary
Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna the nature of the allpervading, immortal Self in a variety of ways and thus induces him to fight by removing his delusion, grief and despondency which are born of ignorance.
