Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
तस्य तै: कारणैर्जन्तो: शरीरं च्यवते तदा । जीवितं प्रोच्यमानं तद् यथावदुपधारय,इन्हीं सब कारणोंसे जीवका शरीर नष्ट हो जाता है। इस प्रकार जो जीवका जीवन बताया जाता है, उसे अच्छी तरह समझ लो
tasya taiḥ kāraṇair jantoḥ śarīraṁ cyavate tadā | jīvitaṁ procyamānaṁ tad yathāvad upadhāraya ||
正因这些缘由，具身之众生的身体便在那时败落崩解。因此，当如其次第、如理领会此处所说的“生命”（jīvita）之义——使你明白：当身体毁坏之时，所谓生命是如何被论说的。

Educational Q&A
The verse stresses that the body’s dissolution occurs due to specific causes previously discussed, and it urges the listener to understand precisely what is meant by ‘life’ (jīvita) in this teaching—distinguishing the principle being explained from the mere physical body that perishes.
A Siddha is instructing the listener in a reflective, doctrinal manner: after listing certain causal factors (in the surrounding context), he concludes that these causes lead to the body’s falling away and calls for careful comprehension of the explanation of ‘life’ being presented.
