Bhagavad Gita 14.2

इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यमागताः।सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च॥

idaṃ jñānamupāśritya mama sādharmyamāgatāḥ |sarge'pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti ca ||

Those who, having taken refuge in this knowledge, have attained unity with Me, are neither born at the time of creation nor disturbed at the time of dissolution.

Translation by Swami Sivananda · Public domain in India (translator d. 1963)

Dwelling in wisdom and realizing My divinity, they are not reborn when the universe is recreated at the beginning of every cycle, nor are they affected when it is dissolved.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
