Ashvamedhika Parva · Adhyaya 104

The Five Great Sacrifices, the Rite of Bathing, and the Worship of Krishna

Yudhishthira asks what becomes of the life-breath when the body is left behind, and Krishna answers that death in the true sense belongs only to sinners, then names the five great sacrifices a householder must perform daily. He sets out the full rite of bathing, the water-offerings to gods, sages and ancestors, and the daily recitation of one's own Veda. He then lists the flowers that please him and those to be avoided, the forms in which he is worshipped, the vows and marks of his devotees, and the faults, grouped as Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras within the body, whose absence makes a true Brahmin.

When the body, and above all the body with its senses, is parted from its owner, what is the course of the life-breath that remains in between?

Verse 2 (14.104.2)

शुभाशुभकृतं सर्वं प्राप्नोतीह फलं नरः । न तु सर्वस्य भूतस्य पञ्चत्वं विद्यते नृप ॥

śubhāśubhakṛtaṃ sarvaṃ prāpnotīha phalaṃ naraḥ | na tu sarvasya bhūtasya pañcatvaṃ vidyate nṛpa

A man here reaps the fruit of all his good and evil deeds. But death, the dissolution into the five elements, does not come to every being, O king.
