Held upright by prāṇa and the others, the body stands like a machine. / When repeatedly abandoned by those winds joined with the individual soul, / it shatters in the course of time like an unbaked pot upon falling. / The five elements, having completely departed from the body, / enter the Self, and the Self quickly enters [them]. / Among the elements, the wind is supreme, and the individual soul is bound to it.
