The process of death is described vividly in Vedānta like the Brihadāraṇyaka Upaniṣad, Kaushitaki Upaniṣad, and so on. Death involves a separation of the Prāṇamaya, Manomaya, and the Vijnānamaya Kośas' from the body or the Annamaya Kośa. These three envelopes the Purusḥa or the ātmā, and they collectively move out of the physical body. The Upanishads describe various aspects of the process of dying for spiritually enlightened and non-enlightened individuals, and these teachings are harmonized in the second section of the fourth chapter of the Brahmasūtras.
