Transliteration
antavanta ime dehā nityasyoktāḥ śarīriṇaḥ| anāśino'prameyasya tasmādyudhyasva bhārata||2.18||
Meaning (English)
2.18 The root 'dih' means 'to grow.' Hence these bodies (Dehas) are characterised by complexity. They have an end - their nature is perishablity. For, jugs and such other things which are characterised by complexity are seen to have an end. The bodies of the embodied self, which are made of conglomerated elements, serve the purpose of experiencing the effects of Karmas, as stated in Brh. U. IV. 4.5, 'Auspicious embodiments are got through good actions.' Such bodies perish when Karmas are exhaust
