अच्छेद्योऽयमदाह्योऽयमपि जीवोऽन्यथा वदन् ।
द्वैतसंकल्पयक्षेण मुह्यत्येव शिशुर्यथा ॥ ४८ ॥

acchedyo'yamadāhyo'yamapi jīvo'nyathā vadan |
dvaitasaṃkalpayakṣeṇa muhyatyeva śiśuryathā || 48 ||

The soul is both inseverable and uninflammable (i.e. it can neither be cut asunder nor burnt away); and whoso says otherwise, he must be betrayed by the delusion of duality, as a boy is decoyed by the deceitful yaksha.
