नैव संजायते जन्तुर्न च जातु विपद्यते । याति देहमयं मुक्त्वा कदाचित्परमां गतिम्
naiva sa j01yate jantur na ca j01tu vipadyate | y01ti dehamaya muktv01 kad01cit param01 gatim ||
জীব কখনও সত্যার্থে জন্মায় না, কখনও বিনষ্টও হয় না। যখন তার তত্ত্বজ্ঞান হয়, তখন সে দেহাভিমান ত্যাগ করে অবশেষে পরমগতিতে উপনীত হয়।

Educational Q&A
The Self (j2bva/Atman as truly understood) is not subject to real birth or death. Liberation is described as the result of true knowledge, by which one abandons body-identification and attains the supreme state (param01 gati).
In the Shanti Parvas instruction-oriented setting, the sage Asita delivers a doctrinal statement meant to calm grief and correct mistaken views about mortality, redirecting attention from the perishable body to the imperishable Self and its highest goal.
