Purañjana Becomes a Woman in the Next Life
1311
“One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.” (Bg. 4.9)

One cannot conquer death without taking shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

This is confirmed in the  Vedas . When the living entity is taken away or arrested by Yamarāja ( tam utkrāmantam ), the life air also goes with him ( prāṇo 'nūtkrāmati ), and when the life air is gone ( prāṇam
