Verse 6.65.4

एवंततस्वरूपोऽपि देही चामोक्षमाकुलः ।
जीवयूथं मया तुभ्यं कथितं कथयाऽनया ॥ ४ ॥

evaṃtatasvarūpo'pi dehī cāmokṣamākulaḥ |
jīvayūthaṃ mayā tubhyaṃ kathitaṃ kathayā'nayā || 4 ||

And the human soul, though it is a form of the divine, yet being enclosed in its frail and mortal body, is doomed to misery until its final liberation from birth and body. Thus I have related to you the fate of all living souls, in the state and tale of the mendicant Bhikshu.
