देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा | तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ||१३||
dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati
正如居於身體中的靈魂，不斷地從童年過渡到青年，再到老年；同樣地，死亡時靈魂也會進入另一個身體。有智慧的人對此不會感到困惑。
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.
奎師那用一個簡單的比喻解釋了靈魂的轉世：就像身體從童年到青年再到老年的變化，靈魂在死亡時只是從一個身體轉移到另一個身體。這種理解能帶來內心的平靜，而非悲傷。
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.
