For the born, death is certain, and for the dead, birth is certain; therefore, you should not grieve over the inevitable.

Swami Sivananda

For the death of anyone born is certain, and the rebirth of the dead is certain. Therefore, you should not grieve over an inevitable fact.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

For, death is certain for the born, and rebirth is certain for the dead; therefore, you should not grieve for what is inevitable.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

Death is certain indeed for what is born; and birth is certain for the dead. Therefore, you should not lament over something that is unavoidable.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

For death is certain for that which is born, just as birth is certain for that which is dead. Therefore, do not grieve for what is inevitable.

Shri Purohit Swami

क्योंकि पैदा हुएकी जरूर मृत्यु होगी और मरे हुएका जरूर जन्म होगा। इस (जन्म-मरण-रूप परिवर्तन के प्रवाह) का परिहार अर्थात् निवारण नहीं हो सकता। अतः इस विषयमें तुम्हें शोक नहीं करना चाहिये।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जन्मने वाले की मृत्यु निश्चित है और मरने वाले का जन्म निश्चित है;  इसलिए जो अटल है अपरिहार्य - है उसके विषय में तुमको शोक नहीं करना चाहिये।

Swami Tejomayananda
