अर्थMeaning
'And when (the body) grows weak through old age, or becomes weak through illness, at that time that person, after separating himself from his members, as an Amra (mango), or Udumbara (fig), or Pippala-fruit is separated from the stalk, hastens back again as be came, to the place from which he started, to (new) life.

व्याख्याVyakhya
'जब यह (शरीर) बुढ़ापे से या रोग से दुर्बलता को प्राप्त होता है, तब जैसे आम, गूलर या पीपल का फल डण्ठल से छूट जाता है, वैसे ही यह पुरुष इन अंगों से छूटकर फिर जिस मार्ग से आया था, उसी से अपने उद्गम-स्थान की ओर, (नए) प्राण (जीवन) के लिए ही, लौट जाता है।'
