अयं चित्वान्पुरा भूत्वा चिद्धीनः संप्रति स्थितः ।
इतीयं कल्पना लोके प्रत्यक्षानुभवा कथम् ॥ ६५ ॥

ayaṃ citvānpurā bhūtvā ciddhīnaḥ saṃprati sthitaḥ |
itīyaṃ kalpanā loke pratyakṣānubhavā katham || 65 ||

Say why is it that people call a living person, to be endued with intellect so long as he is alive, and why they say him to be devoid of intellect, when he is layed down as a dead and lifeless mass.
