Verse 4.23.30

स्थितया संस्थितं सर्वं किंचिन्नष्टं न नष्टया ।
यया पुर्या महीयस्या सा कथं न सुखावहा ॥ ३० ॥

sthitayā saṃsthitaṃ sarvaṃ kiṃcinnaṣṭaṃ na naṣṭayā |
yayā puryā mahīyasyā sā kathaṃ na sukhāvahā || 30 ||

All things depend on the existence of the city of the body, yet nothing is lost by its loss since the mind is the seat of everything. These bodily cities which fill the earth, cannot be unpleasant to any body.
