[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.23 · spoken by Krishna ]
Sword, fire, flood, wind — not one can touch you.
Weapons cannot cut it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot wet it, and wind cannot dry it.
SANSKRIT
नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः । न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः ॥२-२३॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“The blade, the fire, the flood, the wind — each can end the body you wear. Not one has ever reached you. You are what cannot be destroyed.”
