Verse 3.54.73

अत्यन्तासंभवादेव दृश्यस्यासौ च वासना ।
नास्त्येवेति विचारेण दृढज्ञातैव नश्यति ॥ ७३ ॥

atyantāsaṃbhavādeva dṛśyasyāsau ca vāsanā |
nāstyeveti vicāreṇa dṛḍhajñātaiva naśyati || 73 ||

Considering the unreality of the visible phenomena, there can be no desire for them in any body; but the inward soul that is led by its egoism to believe them as true, is subject to death at the dis-appearance of the phenomena.
