Verse 5.53.20

इन्द्रियैरिन्द्रियैरंगैर्मनो मनसि वल्गति ।
चिदलिप्तवपुः केन संबन्धः कस्य किं कथम् ॥ २० ॥

indriyairindriyairaṃgairmano manasi valgati |
cidaliptavapuḥ kena saṃbandhaḥ kasya kiṃ katham || 20 ||

The senses are connected with the organs of sense, and the mind is conversant with the mental operations; but the intellect is unconnected with the body, and bears no relation with any body in any manner.
