अव्यक्तादीनि भूतानि व्यक्तमध्यानि भारत ।
अव्यक्तनिधनान्येव तत्र का परिदेवना ॥ २८ ॥
avyaktādīni bhūtāni vyaktamadhyāni bhārata
avyaktanidhanānyeva tatra kā paridevanā
avyaktādīni bhūtāni vyaktamadhyāni bhārata
avyaktanidhanānyeva tatra kā paridevanā
Word by word
Translation
Beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their middle, and unmanifest again in their end, O Bharata. What is there to lament in this?
हे भारत, सब प्राणी जन्म से पहले अव्यक्त थे, बीच में व्यक्त हैं और मृत्यु के बाद फिर अव्यक्त हो जाते हैं। फिर इसमें शोक कैसा?
Explanation
Where we were before birth cannot be seen; where we will go after death cannot be seen either. Only the life in between is visible. It is not right to lament when that which existed before it came into view, and will remain afterwards, passes out of sight.
