dehī

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि

dehī — the embodied soul

As a person lays aside worn-out clothes and puts on new ones, so the embodied one lays aside worn-out bodies and takes up others.

देही नित्यमवध्योऽयं देहे सर्वस्य भारत

dehī — the soul that dwells within the body

The one who dwells in the body of every being cannot be killed. So do not grieve for any creature.

सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी

dehī — the embodied being

Having renounced all actions with the mind, the self-governed one dwells at ease. The embodied one in this city of nine gates neither acts nor causes action.

गुणानेतानतीत्य त्रीन्देही देहसमुद्भवान्

dehī — the embodied

Having gone beyond these three strands, out of which the body arises, the embodied one is freed from birth, death, old age and pain, and reaches the deathless.
