मरणं तद्विनिर्दिष्टं न नाशः परमार्थतः ।
जायते म्रियते चैवं कर्मभिः स्वयमार्जितैः ॥ ११७ ॥

maraṇaṃ tadvinirdiṣṭaṃ na nāśaḥ paramārthataḥ |
jāyate mriyate caivaṃ karmabhiḥ svayamārjitaiḥ || 117 ||

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

Death is defined by that, not destruction in the ultimate sense. Thus one is born and dies by the fruits of one’s own actions.
