The Song of God
Commentary by Swami Mukundananda
देही नित्यमवध्योऽयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत |
तस्मात्सर्वाणि भूतानि न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि || 30||
dehī nityam avadhyo ’yaṁ dehe sarvasya bhārata
tasmāt sarvāṇi bhūtāni na tvaṁ śhochitum arhasi
dehi nityam avadhyo ’yam dehe sarvasya bharata
tasmat sarvani bhutani na tvam shochitum arhasi
