English Translation - Swami Gambirananda
2.20 Never is this One born, and never does It die; nor is it that having come to exist, It will again cease to be. This One is birthless, eternal, undecaying, ancient; It is not killed when the body is killed.


English Translation - Swami Sivananda
2.20 It is not born, nor does It ever die; after having been, It again ceases not to be; unborn, eternal, changeless and ancient, It is not killed when the body is killed.


English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
2.20. This is neither born; nor ever dies; nor, having not been at one time, will This come to be again.  This is unborn, destructionless,  eternal and ancient and is not slain [even]  when the body is slain.
