Bhagavad Gita 2.22
वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहायनवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि।तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णान्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही॥
vāsāṃsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāyanavāni gṛhṇāti naro'parāṇi |tathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇānyanyāni saṃyāti navāni dehī ||
Just as a man casts off worn-out clothes and puts on new ones, so too the embodied Self casts off worn-out bodies and enters others that are new.
As a man discards his threadbare robes and puts on new ones, so the Spirit throws off its worn-out bodies and takes on fresh ones.
Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
