Verse 5.13.101

यस्य नात्मा न देहोऽस्ति नाधारो नापि चाकृतिः ।
तेनेदं भक्ष्यते सर्वं चित्रेयं मौर्ख्यवागुरा ॥ १०१ ॥

yasya nātmā na deho'sti nādhāro nāpi cākṛtiḥ |
tenedaṃ bhakṣyate sarvaṃ citreyaṃ maurkhyavāgurā || 101 ||

It is a wonder that the mind, having no soul nor essence, nor a body nor size or support of its own, should spread its net over all ignorant minds.
