Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
यह आत्मा अव्यक्त, अचिन्त्य और अविकारी कही जाती है। इसलिए इसे इस प्रकार जानकर तुम्हें शोक नहीं करना चाहिए।
English Translation
The soul is said to be unmanifest, inconceivable, and unchangeable. Therefore, knowing it as such, you should not grieve.
Commentary (टीका)
Three more qualities are given: unmanifest (not perceivable by senses), inconceivable (beyond the mind's capacity to fully grasp), and unchangeable (not subject to any modification). The repeated 'therefore do not grieve' shows Krishna patiently arriving at the same conclusion through different logical paths.
