तरङ्गकणजालेन पयसीव पयो घनम् ।
शरीरनाशेन कथं ब्रह्मणो मृतधीर्भवेत् ॥ ३८ ॥

taraṅgakaṇajālena payasīva payo ghanam |
śarīranāśena kathaṃ brahmaṇo mṛtadhīrbhavet || 38 ||

As the particles of water flying from the waves, fall into the sea and mix with its body of water; so the bodies of dying people, fall into the body of Brahma, wherein they subsisted in their life time.
