Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Just as we cast off worn out vestments and put on new ones, in the same way does the soul cast off worn out bodies and take on new ones. He being without origin, eternal, extremely pure without any limitations is ever beyond the reach of destruction with any mortal weapons. This soul can never be drenched in torrential waters, nor can fire bum him, nor can the wind desiccate him. O Arjuna, the soul is eternal, stable, immobile and all-pervading. O Kiriti, he is non-manifest and unthinkable. Meditation is ever eager to be able to see him. He is difficult to be comprehended by mere mental act nor can he be realized through any practical means. O Arjuna, he is limitless and the best of all the best. He is unaffected by the three Gunas (satva, rajas, tamas), has neither a beginning, nor an end, nor any manifested form, nor attribute, but is all-pervading. O Arjuna, once you come to know him as such, you will cease to grieve after him.
