हे कुन्तीनन्दन ! यह पुरुष स्वयं अनादि और गुणोंसे रहित होनेसे अविनाशी परमात्मस्वरूप ही है। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
