māṁsaśoṇitasaṅghāte medaḥsnāyv-asthisaṁcaye | bhidyamāne śarīre tu jīvo naivopalabhyate ||
Translation
Bharadvāja said: “In this body—an aggregate of flesh and blood, a storehouse of fat, sinews, and bones—even when it is cut open and torn apart, no ‘living self’ is found within as a visible object. Thus the true self is not something that can be grasped by mere physical dissection.”
