Manava Dharmashastra 6.40

6.40

eṣa evārthaḥ punaruktaḥ |
dehādvimuktasya vārtamānikaṃ śarīraṃ yasya patatītyarthaḥ |

The twice-born person, from whom not the slightest danger arises to living beings, suffers no danger from any source, when he has become freed from his body.—(40).

Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The same idea is repeated again.

‘When he has become freed from his body’—i.e., when his present body falls off. (40)

This verse is quoted in Yatidharmasaṅgraha (p. 20), according to which this also refers to the knowledge of the Brahman with properties, as no fear is possible for one who knows the Absolute Brahman.
