The term transmigration means passing of soul from one body to another after death. Upon death, the soul becomes transmigrated into a new infant (or animal) to live again.

Resurrection is a similar process hypothesized by some religions, in which a soul comes back to life in the same body. Reincarnation, also known as rebirth or transmigration, is the philosophical or religious concept that the non-physical essence of a living being begins a new life in a different physical form or body after biological death.
