It describes the Lord as ajara (ageless/undecaying) and amara (deathless), emphasizing transcendence beyond time and mortality.
It indicates a heaven associated with that Deity which is not subject to decay or exhaustion—contrasted with ordinary heavenly enjoyment that can be temporary.
By linking the Lord’s deathlessness with an imperishable state, the verse encourages seeking lasting spiritual refuge in the Divine rather than transient rewards.
