Leave off this dead body which has no longer any animal heat in it and which is as stiff as a piece of wood. Why then do you not go away, leaving the body of this child which is like a piece of wood and whose life had entered a new body?
त्यज्यतामेष निस्तेजाः शून्यः काष्ठत्वमागतः। अन्यदेहविषक्तं हि शावं काष्ठत्वमागतम्॥ त्यक्तजीवस्य चैवास्य कस्माद्धित्वा न गच्छत।
