Like the dried leaf
तरोःtaroḥ
of a tree
यत्र क्व अपिyatra kva api
(fallen) somewhere

the body of a realised person
ब्रह्मीभूतस्यbrahmībhūtasya

Translation

For the sage abiding in Brahman as pure existence and as the infinite non–dual blissful Self, there is no waiting (consideration) for an appropriate place, time etc., to discard the body which is a mere lump of skin, flesh and excreta.

Annotation

People tend to choose a holy place or an auspicious time to die. A realised person has no such expectations.
