देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा | तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ||१३||
dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati
正如居于身体中的灵魂，不断经历童年、青年和老年，同样，在死亡时，灵魂会进入另一个身体。迪拉（dhīraḥ，有智慧的人）对此不会迷惑。
Just as the embodied soul continuously passes from childhood to youth to old age, similarly at death the soul passes into another body. The wise are not deluded by this.
奎师那（Krishna）用一个每个人都能理解的简单类比：你已经“死”过很多次了——你曾经的孩童时期已逝去，青少年时期也已逝去。每个阶段都感觉是你，但身体却完全改变了。死亡只是又一次这样的转变。 “dhīraḥ”（心智坚定者）这个词表明这种理解带来的是平静，而非悲伤。
Krishna uses a simple analogy everyone can understand: you've already "died" many times — the child you were is gone, the teenager is gone. Each stage felt like you, yet the body changed completely. Death is just one more such transition. The word "dhīraḥ" (the steady-minded) suggests this understanding brings calm, not grief.
