स्थितं तदेव यदभूदबोधः केवलं गतः ॥ २७ ॥

ko dehaḥ kasya vā sattā kasya nāśaḥ kathaṃ kutaḥ |
sthitaṃ tadeva yadabhūdabodhaḥ kevalaṃ gataḥ || 27 ||

What is this body and whence it is, and what of its existence or destruction? What is lasting remains forever and is freed from the ignorance it had before.
