परस्तस्मात्तु भावोऽन्योऽव्यक्तोऽव्यक्तात्सनातनः ।
यः स सर्वेषु भूतेषु नश्यत्सु न विनश्यति ॥
parastasmāttu bhāvo'nyo'vyakto'vyaktātsanātanaḥ |
yaḥ sa sarveṣu bhūteṣu naśyatsu na vinaśyati ||
Swami Sivananda (1887–1963)Bhagavad Gita
20. But verily there exists, higher than the unmanifested, another unmanifested Eternal who
is not destroyed when all beings are destroyed.
COMMENTARY: Another unmanifested Eternal refers to Para Brahman, which is
distinct from the unmanifested (primordial Nature), and which is of quite a different nature. It is
superior to Hiranyagarbha (the creative Intelligence) and the unmanifested Nature because It is
their cause. It is not destroyed when all beings from Brahma down to a blade of grass are destroyed.
Bannanje Govindacharya (1936–2020)Bhagavad Gita Pravachana
ಎಂದೆಂದೂ ಇರುವ ತತ್ವವೇ ಅವ್ಯಕ್ತ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಭೂತಗಳು ಇಲ್ಲವಾದಾಗಲೂ ಅದು ಇರುತ್ತದೆ.
ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ಮೀರಿ ನಿಂತ ಭಗವಂತ ಎಲ್ಲಕ್ಕಿಂತ ವಿಲಕ್ಷಣ ಮತ್ತು ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠ. ಆತ ಸನಾತನ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಕಾಲದಲ್ಲೂ
ನಿರ್ವಿಕಾರನಾಗಿರುವ, ಸರ್ವವೇದ ಪ್ರತಿಪಾಧ್ಯ, ಸಮಸ್ತ ಚರಾಚರಾತ್ಮಕ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ನಾಶವಾದಾಗಲೂ
ನಾಶವಾಗದೇ ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ತನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಲೀನವಾಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಇರುವ ಏಕಮಾತ್ರ ತತ್ವ ಭಗವಂತ.
Bibek Debroy (1955–2024)The Bhagavad Gita
(20)
‘But superior to that unmanifest is the other supreme and eternal unmanifest
being that is not destroyed when all beings are destroyed.’23
