Verse 2.22
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि । तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा- न्यन्यानि संयाति ...
जैसे मनुष्य पुराने वस्त्रोंको त्यागकर दूसरे नये वस्त्रों को ग्रहण करता है, वैसे ही जीवात्मा पुराने शरीरोंको त्यागकर दूसरे नये शरीरोंको प्राप्त होता है|
The Blessed Lord said: Just as a person gets rid of old clothing and replaces the old clothing with new ones, similarly, the soul changes from one body to a new body when its body has become old worn out and has stopped functioning.
