According to Puya (Meitei texts), death ("shiba" or "siba") is known as "Thawai Hakchang Khainaba" (Separation between soul and body). The "Yaibi Thawai" (soul or spirit) has no death, what dies is the body. When the soul leaves the body, the moment is called death. There are two ways of death: natural and unnatural.[1]
Death ceremony in Meitei culture is called "Pot-Loiba" (Finishing of the body elements- fire, wind, water and earth).[2] Accordingly, there are four kinds of Pot-Loiba, which are:
- Nungshit Pot-Loi (ꯅꯨꯡꯁꯤꯠ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through wind or air.
- Ishig Pot-Loi (ꯏꯁꯤꯡ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through water.
- Leipak Pot-Loi (ꯂꯩꯄꯥꯛ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through earth, burial.
- Mei Pot-Loi (ꯃꯩ ꯄꯣꯠ-ꯂꯣꯏ) :- death ceremony through fire, burning.
