श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
मरणं सर्वनाशात्म न कदाचन विद्यते ।
स्वसंकल्पान्तरस्थैर्यं मृतिरित्यभिधीयते ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
maraṇaṃ sarvanāśātma na kadācana vidyate |
svasaṃkalpāntarasthairyaṃ mṛtirityabhidhīyate || 1 ||

Vasishtha related:—There is never and nowhere an absolute death or total dissolution of the body together with the mind, soul and egoism;but it is the cessation of the inward imagery of the mind, that is called its quietus.
