In plain words
The Ācārya should say: 'Gentle one, when you die here, your body will be eaten by birds or return to earth. How could that body deliver you from Saṃsāra? Once it has been reduced to ash on this bank of the river, it cannot carry you to the other shore.'
Close to the Sanskrit
The Ācārya should say: 'Here itself, gentle one, when you are dead, your body will be eaten by birds or become earth. How, then, do you wish to raise yourself out of Saṃsāra? For once you have been reduced to ash on this near bank of the river, you will not cross to its far bank.'
