।।2.30।। सर्वस्य देवादिदेहिनो देहे वध्यमाने अपि अयं देही नित्यम् अवध्य इति मन्तव्यः। तस्मात् सर्वाणि देवादिस्थावरान्तानि भूतानि विषमाकाराणि अपि उक्तेन स्वभावेन स्वरूपतः समानानि नित्यानि च। देहगतं तु वैषम्यम् अनित्यत्वं च। ततो देवादीनि सर्वाणि भूतानि उद्दिश्य न शोचितुम् अर्हसि न केवलं भीष्मादीन् प्रति।
2.30 The self within the body of everyone such as gods etc., must be considered to be eternally imperishable, though the body can be killed. Therefore, all beings from gods to immovable beings, even though they possess different forms, are all uniform and eternal in their nature as described above. The ineality and the perishableness pertain only to the bodies. Therefore, it is not fit for you to feel grief for any of the beings beginning from gods etc., and not merely for Bhisma and such others.
