जीवशक्तया परामृष्टे निरुद्धे पद्मयन्त्रके ।
प्राणे संरोधमायाते म्रियते मानवो मुने ॥ ४८ ॥

jīvaśaktayā parāmṛṣṭe niruddhe padmayantrake |
prāṇe saṃrodhamāyāte mriyate mānavo mune || 48 ||

When the vital power forsakes the body, and the action of the pericardium is stopped; the breath of life becomes extinct, and the animated being is said to die away.
