SB 11.22.47
niseka-garbha-janmani
balya-kaumara-yauvanam
vayo-madhyam jara mrtyur
ity avasthas tanor nava
Translation:
Impregnation, gestation, birth, infancy, childhood, youth, middle age, old age and death are the nine ages of the body.
SB 11.22.48
eta manoratha-mayir
hanyasyoccavacas tanuh
guna-sangad upadatte
kvacit kascij jahati ca
Translation:
Although the material body is different from the self, because of the ignorance due to material association one falsely identifies oneself with the superior and inferior bodily conditions. Sometimes a fortunate person is able to give up such mental concoction.
Purport:
One who has received the special mercy of the Supreme Lord is able to give up the mental concoction of bodily identification. Thus there is always a chance of escaping the cycle of birth and death.
