इत्यातिवाहिकः प्रोक्तो देहो देहभृतां वर ।
चिन्नभश्चित्तदेहोऽसौ शून्य आकाशतोपि च ॥ ११ ॥

ityātivāhikaḥ prokto deho dehabhṛtāṃ vara |
cinnabhaścittadeho'sau śūnya ākāśatopi ca || 11 ||

So must you know, O best of embodied beings, that this body of yours is of a spiritual or intangible nature; it is the intellectual body formed of the vacuous intellect, which is rarer than the rarified air.
