11.22.46

mā svasya karma-bījena jāyate so 'py ayaṃ pumān /
mriyate vāmaro bhrāntyā yathāgnir dāru-saṃyutaḥ //

45. Birth or death cannot be predicated of Atman as caused by the seed of his own Karma, for even he who is ignorant, is born or dies; so through illusion even the unborn seems to be born; even the immortal seems to die like fire in a piece of wood though the element Agni continues to be in existence to the end of Brahmakalpa.

45. Another version.--Atman has no birth or death, Karma acting as the seed—For, be he an ignorant man or a god, he dies or is born through illusion, just as fire may be said to be born or to die out with the piece of fuel (it burns).
