Jīva–Ātman Inquiry; Kṣetrajña Doctrine; Karma-based Varṇa; Four Āśramas and Sannyāsa Discipline
न शरीराश्रितो जीवस्तस्मिन्नष्टे प्रणश्यति । समिधामग्निदग्धानां यथाग्रिर्द्दश्यते तथा ॥ १९ ॥
na śarīrāśrito jīvastasminnaṣṭe praṇaśyati | samidhāmagnidagdhānāṃ yathāgrirddaśyate tathā || 19 ||
ジーヴァは身体に依存しない。身体が滅しても、それは滅びない。火に焼かれた薪のかけらにおいてもなお火が見て取れるように、自己は身体の破壊を超えて存続すると悟られる。

FAQs
It teaches Atma-jnana: the jīva is not the body and therefore is not destroyed with bodily death, encouraging detachment and a moksha-oriented understanding of life.
By separating the eternal Self from the perishable body, the verse supports steady devotion—Bhakti becomes grounded in the imperishable reality rather than fear of death or bodily identity.
No specific Vedanga (like Vyakarana, Jyotisha, or Kalpa) is directly taught; the verse is primarily Vedantic instruction within Moksha Dharma, using an illustrative analogy (dṛṣṭānta) for clarity.
