देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा । तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ॥ २.१३ ॥

dehino 'smin yathā dehe kaumāraṃ yauvanaṃ jarā | tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati || 2.13 ||

Translation

Sebagaimana diri yang bersemayam dalam tubuh ini melalui zaman kanak-kanak, zaman muda, dan zaman tua, demikian juga ia memperoleh tubuh yang lain; orang yang teguh (dhīra) tidak terkeliru olehnya.

Gita Press Meaning

As the embodied self passes in this body through childhood, youth, and old age, so it passes into another body; the steadfast are not deluded by this.
