Verse 5.40.5

स्पर्शसंबोधकारित्वाद्देह एवास्ति सुव्रत ।
उत्सेधारोधकत्वेन खमुत्सेधस्य कारणम् ॥ ५ ॥

sparśasaṃbodhakāritvāddeha evāsti suvrata |
utsedhārodhakatvena khamutsedhasya kāraṇam || 5 ||

Your perception of the objects of the touch, proves you to be an embodied being;and your soul is said to be the cause of that perception; as the open air is said to be the cause of the growth of trees, for its putting no hindrance to their height. But neither the soul is cause of perception, nor the air of the growth of trees.
