Verse 3.55.3

शुद्धं हि चेतनं नित्यं नोदेति न च शाम्यति ।
स्थावरे जङ्गमे व्योम्नि शैलेऽग्नौ पवने स्थितम् ॥ ३ ॥

śuddhaṃ hi cetanaṃ nityaṃ nodeti na ca śāmyati |
sthāvare jaṅgame vyomni śaile'gnau pavane sthitam || 3 ||

But the intellectual soul which has no rise nor fall, remains ever the same as it abides in all moving and unmoving bodies, and in air, water, fire and vacuum.
