भस्त्रादाहे यथा दाहो न भस्त्रान्तरवर्तिनः ।
पवनस्य तथा देहनाशे नात्मा न नश्यति ॥ ६३ ॥

bhastrādāhe yathā dāho na bhastrāntaravartinaḥ |
pavanasya tathā dehanāśe nātmā na naśyati || 63 ||

As the burning of a pair of bellows, does not blow out the fire, nor stop the air blown by another pair, so the vital air is not destroyed by destruction of the body, but finds its way into another form and frame elsewhere.
