श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
एवं चेत्तन्महाबाहो ज्ञप्तिरेव जगत्त्रयम् ।
विशुद्धज्ञानदेहस्य कुतो मरणजन्मनी ॥ २१ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
evaṃ cettanmahābāho jñaptireva jagattrayam |
viśuddhajñānadehasya kuto maraṇajanmanī || 21 ||

Vasishtha said:—If it be so, O mighty armed Rama, that the three worlds are Divine intelligence only; then tell me why bodies formed of pure intelligence (as those of the gods and angels), and those having the intelligent soul in them (as those of human beings), are subject to their birth and death.*
