Original Sanskrit · श्रीभगवान्
इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यमागताः
सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च
॥ 14.2 ॥
idaṃ jñānamupāśritya mama sādharmyamāgatāḥ
sarge'pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti ca
Translation
"Those who, taking refuge in this knowledge, have attained likeness to Me are not born even at creation, and are not troubled at dissolution."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. mama parameśvarasya sādharmyaṃ matsvarūpatām āgatāḥ prāptāḥ ity arthaḥ — they have become My very nature; na tu samānadharmatā sādharmyam, kṣetrajñeśvarayoḥ bhedānabhyupagamāt gītāśāstre — sadharmya does not mean "having the same qualities" (while remaining separate), because the Gita does not accept a difference between the knower of the field and Ishvara.
Acharya Ramanuja. mama sādharmyam āgatāḥ matsāmyaṃ prāptāḥ — they reach My samya (likeness); sarge api na upajāyante, na sṛjikarmatāṃ bhajante; pralaye na vyathanti ca, na ca saṃhṛtikarmatāṃ bhajante — they are neither the objects of creation nor of destruction.
