English Translation

The knowing Self is not born; It does not die. It has not sprung from anything; nothing has sprung from It. Birthless, eternal, everlasting and ancient, It is not killed when the body is killed.

English Commentary

The particle тАШOmтАЩ has been pointed out as a prop of and as a substitute for the ├вtman, asked about in the text beginning with тАШAnyaira dharmat,тАЩ etc., and devoid of all attributes, for the benefit of the ignorant and the middling class of men who wish to attain the Brahman, manifested and unmanifested. Now, this text is indroduced for the purpose of directly ascertaining the real nature of the ├вtman, to attain whom the word тАШOmтАЩ was mentioned as a prop; he is not born, i.e., produced; nor does he die; various modifications are incidental to a thing which is produced and not eternal. Of those, the first and the last modifications namely birth and death are at the outset denied of the ├вtman, with the object of denying all modifications by the expressions тАШhe is not born nor does he die.тАЩ Vipaschit, intelligent; for, he is by nature of indestructible intelligence. Again, this ├вtman came not from anything, i.e., from any other cause; nor did any other real thing proceed from this ├вtman; therefore, this ├вtman is unborn, eternal, everlasting, undecaying (for, whoso is not everlasting decays; but he is everlasting); therefore, ancient, i.e., new, even formerly; (for, that which undergoes a development of its parts, is then said to be new); for instance a pot, etc.; but the ├вtman who is of a contrary nature is ancient, i.e., incapable of development; this being so, he is not slain or affected, even though the body is slain by swords, etc. Though in it, he is in it like the ├вk├вs.
