transmigrates

Passes between bodies

Transmigrates means to pass from one state, place, or body into another.

The word appears most often in religious and philosophical contexts describing the soul's journey after death—the belief that a soul transmigrates into a new body, human or animal, upon dying.

Hindus believe the soul transmigrates through many lifetimes.

More broadly, to transmigrate is to migrate across borders or between regions.
