Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya and Tātparya

B.G 2.23

नैनं छिन्दन्ति शस्त्राणि नैनं दहति पावकः। न चैनं क्लेदयन्त्यापो न शोषयति मारुतः ॥ २-२३॥

Weapons cannot cut Him, fire cannot burn Him, water cannot drench Him, not even wind can dry Him.

Gīta Bhāshya 2.23

Both internal natural causes and external special causes cannot destroy the Lord

स्वतः प्रायोनिमित्तैश्च अविनाशिनोऽपि केनचिन्निमित्त विशेषेण स्यात्। ककच्छेदवत् इत्यतो विशेषनिमित्तानि निषेधति– 'नैनम्' इति ॥ २३ ॥

It is indestructible because not only it cannot be destroyed by natural causes, originating from themselves, but also by particular external causes. By rejecting it can be pierced, the verse 'nainam' forbids the possibility of its destruction by special causes.

Gīta Tātparya 2.23

Various external cases cannot destroy the Lord

कारणतोपि न ईश्वरस्य अन्यथात्वमित्याह - नैनं छिन्दन्तीति ॥२३॥

The verse 'nainam chindanti', not possible to pierce, clarifies there is no destruction to the Lord by various external causes.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
