Verse
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि ।तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णानि अन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही ॥
vāsāṃsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛhṇāti naro’parāṇitathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇāni anyāni saṃyāti navāni dehī
The embodied soul casts away old and takes up new bodies as a man changes worn-out raiment for new.
Gītā 2·22
