Verse 7.143.76

जीवधर्मः सोऽपि संश्चेन्मृतधर्मोऽपि किं न सन् ।
यादृगनुभवस्त्वस्मिन्समे न्यायद्वये स्थिते ॥ ७६ ॥

jīvadharmaḥ so'pi saṃścenmṛtadharmo'pi kiṃ na san |
yādṛganubhavastvasminsame nyāyadvaye sthite || 76 ||

If the property of action be true of the living, why should it not be equally true of the dead also; upon the analogy of our conception of the idea of the action of the one as well as of the other.
