वद्धोभय इत्याद्याख्यायिका- स्वकर्णगो चरापन्नमलुबुबुधिरेऽ्- मन्विष्य सर्वाश्च लोकानाभोति। देह के पदार्थ बदलते रहते हैं, पर जानने का बोध बना रहता है। यह पंक्ति उसी अंतर को कहती है — जो बदलता है वह आवरण है, जो जानता है वह निरंतर है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
