14.2
इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य
मम साधर्म्यमागताः ।
सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते
प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च ॥
idaṃ jñānam upāśritya mama sādharmyam āgatāḥ
sarge 'pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti ca
Kṛṣṇa (कृष्ण) is still speaking, to Arjuna (अर्जुन).
The verse
Having resorted to this knowledge and come to a nature the same as mine, they are not born even at a creation, and at a dissolution they are not shaken.
नेपालीमा
यो ज्ञानको आश्रय लिएर र मेरो जस्तै स्वभावमा आएर, तिनीहरू सृष्टिमा पनि जन्मँदैनन्, र प्रलयमा तिनीहरू डगमगाउँदैनन्।
Where it sits
14.1 said the sages who knew it have gone to the highest attainment, and this verse says what that knowing does at a creation and at a dissolution.

The phrases
इदं ज्ञानम् उपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यम् आगताः idaṃ jñānam upāśritya mama sādharmyam āgatāḥ is the person this verse is about. He has resorted to this knowledge, and he has come to a nature the same as Kṛṣṇa's (कृष्ण). āgatāḥ (आगताः) is the subject. The two "having" words lean on him.
सर्गे अपि न उपजायन्ते sarge 'pi na upajāyante is the first result. Even when a world is poured forth, they are not born into it.
pralaye na vyathanti ca (प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च) is the pair. And when a world dissolves, they are not shaken. The two locatives, sarge (सर्गे) and pralaye (प्रलये), are the two ends of a world.
Sanskrit in this line
सर्गे + अपि sarge + api is recited sarge 'pi (सर्गेऽपि). e (ए) meets a (अ): the e (ए) stays, and the a (अ) is written ऽ, the avagraha. You still pronounce the break. The a (अ) of api (अपि) is the vowel the sign stands for. Do not start the next word at the p (प्).
Say it back
Cover the English. Say what they have come to, and the two times they are free of. If sādharmyam (साधर्म्यम्) comes out as "my duty," stay here. It is sameness of nature.
