TEXT 60
- dhātavo 'vayavitvāc ca
- tan-mātrāvayavair vinā
- na syur hy asaty avayaviny
- asann avayavo 'ntataḥ
SYNONYMS
dhātavaḥ — the five elements; avayavitvāt — being the cause of the bodily conception; ca — and; tat-mātra — the sense objects (sound, taste, touch, etc.); avayavaiḥ — the subtle parts; vinā — without; na — not; syuḥ — can exist; hi — indeed; asati — unreal; avayavini — in the formation of the body; asan — not existing; avayavaḥ — the part of the body; antataḥ — at the end.
TRANSLATION
Because the body is formed of the five elements, it cannot exist without the subtle sense objects. Therefore, since the body is false, the sense objects are also naturally false or temporary.
