Verse 1.27.33

सर्वत्र पाषाणमया महीध्रा मृदा मही दारुभिरेव वृक्षाः ।
मांसैर्जनाः पौरुषबद्धभावा नापूर्वमस्तीह विकारहीनम् ॥ ३३ ॥

sarvatra pāṣāṇamayā mahīdhrā mṛdā mahī dārubhireva vṛkṣāḥ |
māṃsairjanāḥ pauruṣabaddhabhāvā nāpūrvamastīha vikārahīnam || 33 ||

Things that are called mountains are made of rocks, those that are called trees are made of wood, and those that are made of flesh are called animals, and man is the best of them. But they are all made of matter, and doomed to death and decay.
