Vertaling

When the Lord (as the individual soul) obtains a body and when He leaves it, He takes these and goes (with them) as the wind takes the scents from their seats (flowers, etc.).

Uitleg

Krishna uses a delicate image for death and rebirth. When the indwelling lord of the body enters a new body or leaves an old one, it carries the senses and mind with it, as the wind carries fragrance away from flowers. The wind is not itself the scent, yet it bears it along. In the same way the self is distinct from the subtle faculties it carries. For Arjuna, still troubled about death, the verse shows continuity rather than destruction when a body falls.
