transmigratory

transmigratory
a) Of, pertaining to, or undergoing transmigration, as a soul from one body to another.

I think of him as of some transmigratory votary of Indian legend, who says, "Though I be dog, or jackal, or pismire, in the last rudiments of nature, under what integument or ferocity, I cleave to right, as the sure ladder that leads up to man and to God."

b) Of, pertaining to, or undergoing transmigration, as between places.

To the Brahmin, the lower animal kingdom is a vast masquerade of transmigratory souls.
