हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 2.26)
।।2.26।।हे महाबाहो अगर तुम इस देहीको नित्य पैदा होनेवाला और नित्य मरनेवाला भी मानो तो भी तुम्हें इसका शोक नहीं करना चाहिये।


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Thus it has been stated by authoritative testimony that because the soul  is
neither subject to birth or death there is no need  to  lament.  Now  it  is
being stated that even if one erroneously believes that the eternal soul  is
perpetually born when the body is born and perpetually dies with  the  death
of the body then and still there is no  need  for  lamentation.  Since  both
virtue and sin with their resultant reactions of birth and  death  are  also
attached to the soul perpetually there is still no need to lament.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Even  though  the  immortal  soul  is  eternal,  because  of  its   constant
connection and disconnection with the physical body from time immemorial  it
believes it is experiencing  birth and death.

Now begins the summation.

Thus exists this expansive samsara known as the endless cycle of  birth  and
death in the material existence. Until and  unless  the  living  entity  has
attained liberation from the material  existence,  one  is  subject  to  the
stringent laws of endless births and deaths in different physical bodies  as
ordained by the material   nature  and  so  are  following   natural  order.
Therefore by possessing even this small amount  of  knowledge  there  is  no
need to worry.

In the Shabda Nirnaya it is stated:

Eternal and permanent the  immortal  soul  is  known  to  be  and  also  the
immortal soul is eternally in accordance with the cosmic order.

Understanding in the knowledge that there is a  cosmic  order  to  existence
one should not grieve.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Here the Supreme Lord Krishna gives Arjuna another reason not to lament  for
He states that even if one considers the eternal soul to be the same as  the
physical body which is subject to incessant births  and  deaths  and  not  a
separate and distinct reality;  then  still  there  is  no  need  for  grief
because  from birth the ageing of the physical body due to  the  passage  of
time leads to death and birth and death is a law of nature in  the  material
existence and unavoidable.
