Verse 6.111.24

पदार्थवृन्दं देहादि न चित्तमिति कथ्यते ।
तदेतत्किं क्व वा व्यर्थं निरागस्कं त्यजाम्यहम् ॥ २४ ॥

padārthavṛndaṃ dehādi na cittamiti kathyate |
tadetatkiṃ kva vā vyarthaṃ nirāgaskaṃ tyajāmyaham || 24 ||

He considered in himself, the mind to be no part of his body, nor anything among the known categories in nature; It is quite aloof and apart from all, and therefore perfectly guiltless in itself, why should I then abandon so innocent and constant a companion of mine.
