गुणानेतानतीत्य त्रीन्देही देहसमुद्भवान् । जन्ममृत्युजरादुःखैर्विमुक्तोऽमृतमश्रुते ॥ २० ॥
guṇān etān atītya trīn dehī deha-samudbhavān janma-mṛityu-jarā-duḥkhair vimukto ’mṛitam aśhnute
Translation
Going beyond these three gunas, from which the body arises, the embodied one is freed from birth, death, old age and sorrow and attains immortality.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
देह की उत्पत्ति के कारण इन तीनों गुणों को पार करके देहधारी जन्म, मृत्यु, बुढ़ापा और दुःखों से मुक्त होकर अमृत को प्राप्त होता है।
Commentary
Deha-samudbhavan, "the source of the body," points out that the gunas are what the body is made from. Going beyond them does not mean destroying the body; it means no longer being governed by it. The result is described as amritam, immortality: the soul's own undying nature, now uncovered.
