Shloka 20
सर्व कृतं विनाशान्तं जातस्य मरणं ध्रुवम् । अशाश्रवृतं हि लोके5स्मिन् सदा स्थावरजड्रमम्,जिन-जिन वस्तुओंका निर्माण हुआ है, उनका नाश अवश्यम्भावी है। जो जन्म ले चुका है उसकी मृत्यु निश्चित है। इस जगत्में स्थावर या जंगम कोई भी सदा रहनेवाला नहीं है
sarvaṃ kṛtaṃ vināśāntaṃ jātasya maraṇaṃ dhruvam | aśāśvataṃ hi loke 'smin sadā sthāvara-jaṅgamam ||
Vāyu-deva said: “Whatever has been made ends in destruction; for one who is born, death is certain. In this world nothing—whether immobile or moving—endures forever.”

All conditioned things are impermanent: whatever is produced will perish, and whoever is born will certainly die. The verse urges clear-sighted detachment and steadiness in dharma by recognizing the inevitability of change and death.
Vāyu-deva delivers a concise philosophical instruction, emphasizing the universal law of impermanence—applying it to all entities in the world, both immobile (sthāvara) and mobile (jaṅgama)—to guide the listener toward right understanding and composure.
