योऽसावात्मा महाप्राज्ञ न नश्यति न गच्छति ।
न नश्यति कदाचिच्च किं मुधा परितप्यसे ॥ १८ ॥

yo'sāvātmā mahāprājña na naśyati na gacchati |
na naśyati kadācicca kiṃ mudhā paritapyase || 18 ||

If you know, O wise Rama, the soul to be indestructible and inseparable (from any place or person), what cause then can you have to sorrow for the supposed separation or disappearance of the all pervading spirit?
