In plain words
On this, there is a verse: 'When every desire clinging to his heart finally lets go, the mortal becomes immortal — right here, he reaches brahman.' Picture a snake sliding out of its old skin and leaving it dead in the anthill: that is exactly how this body is left behind. What remains, free of body, free of death, is simply the breath of life — brahman itself, pure light itself. 'That is who I am,' said Janaka of Videha. 'And to you, sir, I give a thousand cows.'
Close to the Sanskrit
On this there is this verse: 'When all the desires that are lodged in his heart are released, then the mortal becomes immortal; here he attains brahman.' Just as a snake's cast-off slough would lie dead, discarded, in an anthill, so this body lies; then this one, bodiless, immortal, is the vital breath, brahman itself, light itself. 'I am he — to you, revered sir, I give a thousand,' thus indeed said Janaka of Videha.
