Verse 6

⁶Saying this, Nimi, who understood the self well, let his own body go. And the great-grandfather was born of Mitra and Varuna in Urvasi. ⁷The best of the sages laid that body away among fragrant things; and when the long sacrifice was finished they said to the gods who had come: ⁸Let this body of the king live, if you are pleased and have the power. So be it, they said; and Nimi answered: Let there be no binding to a body for me. ⁹Sages whose thought is on Hari do not want that union, timid as they are before the fear of being parted again. They serve his lotus feet instead. ¹⁰I do not want to be shut into a body, which brings pain and grief and fear. Death is everywhere for it, as it is for fish in the water.

¹¹Then live as you please without a body, in the eyes of those who wear bodies, showing yourself in the opening and closing of them, resting in the self.
