Swami Swarupananda, Srimad Bhagavad Gita (1909)

[4]
Just as the soul experiences in this body childhood, youth, and old age, so also it passes into another body. The wise man does not grieve thereat.

William Quan Judge, The Bhagavad Gita (1890)

[6]
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, similarly the soul accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.

Sir Edwin Arnold, The Song Celestial (1885)

[7]
As when one layeth his worn-out robes away, And taking new ones, sayeth, 'These will I wear to-day!' So putteth by the spirit lightly its garb of flesh, And passeth to inherit a residence afresh.

K.T. Telang, Sacred Books of the East Vol. 8 (1882)

[9]
As a person puts on new clothes, giving up old ones, similarly the soul accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
