Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
ब्रह्मणा सम्परित्यक्तो मृत इत्युच्यते नरै: । इस प्रकार जब जीव शरीरका त्याग करता है
brahmaṇā samparityakto mṛta ity ucyate naraiḥ |
シッダは言った。「具身の者がブラフマン（生命の原理）によって完全に見捨てられると、人々はそれを『死』と呼ぶ。ジーヴァが身体を去れば、その身は息なきもののように見え、熱も、呼吸も、光彩も、意識も、もはや残らない。かくして自己に捨てられた身体を、世の常の理解では『死体』と称するのである。」
सिद्ध उवाच
Educational Q&A
Death is defined not merely as physical stillness but as the departure of the indwelling self/life-principle: when consciousness, warmth, breath, and radiance cease because the jīva is gone, the body is called ‘dead.’
A Siddha instructs by explaining how people recognize death: the body, once the jīva departs, becomes breathless and devoid of heat and awareness, and is therefore designated as a corpse.
