On account of this, the Individual Soul, feeling great pain, quickly takes leave of the body. Know, O foremost of twice-born ones, that when the vital parts of the body become thus afflicted, Individual Soul passes away from he body, suffering from great pain. All living creatures repeatedly suffer from birth and death.
ततः सवेदनः सद्यो जीवः प्रच्यवते क्षरात्। शरीरं त्यजते जन्तुश्छिद्यमानेषु मर्मसु॥ वेदनाभिः परीतात्मा तद् विद्धि द्विजसत्तम। जातीमरणसंविग्नाः सततं सर्वजन्तवः॥
