अर्थMeaning
'"He has become one," they say, "he does not see ." "He has become one," they say, "he does not smell." "He has become one," they say, "he does not taste." "He has become one," they say, "he does not speak." "He has become one," they say, "he does not hear." "He has become one," they say, "he does not think." "He has become one," they say, "he does not touch." "He has become one," they say, "he does not know." The point of his heart becomes lighted up, and by that light the Self departs, either through the eye , or through the skull , or through other places of the body. And when he thus departs, life (the chief prâna) departs after him, and when life thus departs, all the other vital spirits (prânas) depart after it. He is conscious, and being conscious he follows and departs. 'Then both his knowledge and his work take hold of him, and his acquaintance with former things .'

व्याख्याVyakhya
'(तब लोग) कहते हैं, 'यह एक (भीतर लीन) हो गया, देखता नहीं'; 'एक हो गया, सूँघता नहीं'; 'एक हो गया, चखता नहीं'; 'एक हो गया, बोलता नहीं'; 'एक हो गया, सुनता नहीं'; 'एक हो गया, मनन नहीं करता'; 'एक हो गया, स्पर्श नहीं करता'; 'एक हो गया, जानता नहीं।' तब इसके हृदय का अग्रभाग प्रकाशित होता है; उसी प्रकाश से यह आत्मा नेत्र से, या सिर से, या शरीर के अन्य भागों से निकलता है। उसके निकलने पर मुख्य प्राण उसके पीछे निकलता है, और प्राण के निकलने पर सब इन्द्रियाँ उसके पीछे निकलती हैं। यह विज्ञान (चेतना) से युक्त होता है और विज्ञान-युक्त होकर ही (अगले शरीर की ओर) जाता है। विद्या (ज्ञान), कर्म और पूर्वप्रज्ञा (पूर्व के संस्कार) उसके साथ जाते हैं।'
