The works of Ādi Śaṅkarācārya

Aparokṣānubhūtiḥ

Verse 39

लिङ्गं चानेकसंयुक्तं चलं दृश्यं विकारि च ।अव्यापकमसद्रूपं तत्कथं स्यात्पुमानयम् ॥ ३९ ॥

In plain words

And the subtle body? Assembled out of many parts, never still, something you can watch, always turning into something else — limited in reach, unreal in its very nature. How could that be this Self?

Close to the Sanskrit

And the subtle body is joined together out of many things, moving, an object of sight, and mutable; non-pervading, unreal in nature — how could that be this Puruṣa?
