BHAGAVAD GITA · CHAPTER 2, VERSE 22

Bhagavad Gita 2.22

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि। तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा- न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही॥

Just as a person discards worn-out clothes and puts on new ones, so the embodied soul casts off worn-out bodies and enters into new ones.

A vivid metaphor comparing physical death and rebirth to changing old clothes for new garments.
