Just as the embodied soul passes through childhood, youth, and old age in this body, so too does it pass into another body; the steadfast one does not grieve over this.

Swami Sivananda

As boyhood, youth, and decrepitude are to an embodied being in this present body, so is the acquisition of another body. Therefore, an intelligent person does not get deluded.

Swami Gambirananda

Follows the commentary of Shankara (Advaita).

Just as the self associated with a body passes through childhood, youth, and old age, so too, at death, it passes into another body. A wise man is not deluded by that.

Swami Adidevananda

Follows the commentary of Ramanuja (Vishishtadvaita).

Just as boyhood, youth, and old age come to the embodied soul in this body, so too is the attainment of another body; the wise man is not deluded by this.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayan

Follows the commentary of Abhinavagupta (Kashmir Shaivism).

As the soul experiences infancy, youth, and old age in this body, so finally it passes into another; the wise have no delusion about this.

Shri Purohit Swami

देहधारीके इस मनुष्यशरीरमें जैसे बालकपन, जवानी और वृद्धावस्था होती है, ऐसे ही देहान्तरकी प्राप्ति होती है। उस विषयमें धीर मनुष्य मोहित नहीं होता।

Swami Ramsukhdas

जैसे इस देह में देही जीवात्मा की कुमार, युवा और वृद्धावस्था होती है, वैसे ही उसको अन्य शरीर की प्राप्ति होती है;  धीर पुरुष इसमें मोहित नहीं होता है।

Swami Tejomayananda
