Sanskrit Verse
Shariram yad avapnoti yac capy utkramatishvarah, grhitvaitani samyati vayur gandhan ivashayat
Translation & Meaning
As the wind carries aromas from their source, so the living entity, who is the lord of the body, carries the mind and senses from one body to another when it gives up one form and takes another. This verse illuminates the subtle mechanics of transmigration — the soul carries its accumulated mental and sensory impressions into the next life.
