Chapter 2
Sankhya Yoga

21. He who knows that it (the form of Jiva that) is indestructible and eternal, uncreate and unchanging (being but the reflection of the Lord), bow can such Person (ever that he will) slay any one, O Arjuna, or cause anyone to slay?
Bhashya :- The one who knows how and who is hurt or killed ? अविनाशिम् is that which is by its nature incapable of being destroyed. ina%yama\ is that which is by nature is eternal and therefore by its nature incapable of being destroyed or AivanaaiSanama\ without having any defects or affectations. The word defect is commonly used for that which is not perfect. The body is not perfect it is defective, thus the word destruction is applicable to the body but never to the eternal soul.
Tatparya Nirnaya :- अविनाशिम् means one who has no destruction of body etc. Eternal of the form is the Supreme Lord. Action is the attribute of being independent; that can happen only in case of Sri Hari. Therefore He being immutable, how can any one else become the doer, thus in Parama shruti. Otherwise saying indestructible, eternal will be merely a case of repetition.
