Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 19
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 ||
吉瓦并不依赖于身体；身体毁坏时，它并不灭亡。正如木柴虽被火焚烧，火性仍可见其存；同样，自性被了知为超越身坏而常存。

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.
