Verse 3.9.14

जीवन्मुक्तपदं त्यक्त्वा देहे कालवशीकृते ।
विशत्यदेहमुक्तत्वं पवनोऽस्पन्दतामिव ॥ १४ ॥

jīvanmuktapadaṃ tyaktvā dehe kālavaśīkṛte |
viśatyadehamuktatvaṃ pavano'spandatāmiva || 14 ||

Now leaving the subject of "living liberation," I will tell you what they call the "disembodied liberation," which like a breath of wind enters into the soul, after it has fled from the mortal body.
