Stage VIII: Days 41–49 (The Final Choice) Garuda Purana: By 49th day, preta body dissolves; soul must choose rebirth or liberation. Tantra: If crown-gate exit not attained, soul returns into cycle of 8.4 million wombs. Buddhism: After 49 days, soul either merges into liberation or enters womb via karmic winds. Ultimate Practice: At 49th day, chant:Om Soham Shivoham Recognize Self as Shiva, not as body.
