The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Chāndogyopaniṣadbhāṣyam

Verse 315

एवमेव खलु सोम्य विद्धीति होवाचजीवापेतं वाव किलेदं म्रियते न जीवो

In plain words

Know it precisely thus, gentle one, he said. It is this body, bereft of life, that dies; the life itself does not die.

Close to the Sanskrit

Thus indeed, O gentle one, know this, thus he spoke. Bereft of life indeed this dies, not the Jiva.
