Verse 5.71.65

मृतो नष्ट इति प्रोक्तो मन्ये तच्च मृषा ह्यसत् ।
स देशकालान्तरितो भूत्वा भूत्वानुभूयते ॥ ६५ ॥

mṛto naṣṭa iti prokto manye tacca mṛṣā hyasat |
sa deśakālāntarito bhūtvā bhūtvānubhūyate || 65 ||

A person being dead, is said to be lost—nashta; but this is entirely false and untrue; as one who being long absent from his country returns to it again; so the dead man revisits the earth, in his repeated transmigrations.
