Bhagavad.Gita.10.34
TEXT 34
TRANSLATION
I am all-devouring death, and I am the generator of all things yet to
be. Among women I am fame, fortune, speech, memory, intelligence,
faithfulness and patience.
PURPORT
As soon as a man is born, he dies at every moment. Thus death is
devouring every living entity at every moment, but the last stroke is
called death itself. That death is Krsna. All species of life undergo six
basic changes. They are born, they grow, they remain for some time,
they reproduce, they dwindle and finally vanish. Of these changes,
the first is deliverance from the womb, and that is Krsna. The first
generation is the beginning of all future activities.
