Just as in this body the embodied (soul) passes into childhood, youth and old age, so also does it pass into another body; the firm man does not grieve thereat.

Just as the embodied one passes through childhood, youth and old age in this body, so it passes on to another body. The steady person is not bewildered by this.

The verse offers a familiar analogy. In one lifetime the embodied one (dehin) passes through childhood, youth and old age, and no one mourns the child who became an adult. Passing to another body at death is presented as a change of the same kind. The steady person (dhīra) is not confused by it. The verse introduces the idea of rebirth that runs through the Gita, and also the distinction between the one who lives in the body and the body that changes around it.
