वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि | तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा- न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही
vāsāṃsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛhṇāti naro.aparāṇi . tathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇāni anyāni saṃyāti navāni dehī
正如人捨棄破舊的衣服，換上其他新衣，同樣地，有身者捨棄朽壞的身體後，獲得其他新的身體。
As after rejecting wornout clothes a man takes up other new ones, likewise after rejecting wornout bodies the embodied one unites with other new ones.
此偈頌以一個常見的比喻來解釋靈魂的輪迴轉世。正如人捨棄破舊的衣服換上新衣，有身者（Atman，真我）也捨棄朽壞的舊身體，而獲得新的身體。這說明了物質身體的無常性，以及靈魂永恆不變的本質。
. Just as rejecting the tattered garments, a man takes other new ones, in the same way, rejecting the decayed bodies, the embodied (Self) rightly proceeds to other new ones.
