Shloka 29
Śānti-parva 206: Guṇa-hetu Moha, Kāma-krodha Chain, Indriya-utpatti, and Nirodha
सर्वैरय॑ चेन्द्रियै: सम्प्रयुक्तो देहं प्राप्त: पठडचभूताश्रय: स्यात् । नासामर्थ्याद् गच्छति कर्मणेह हीनस्तेन परमेणाव्ययेन,सम्पूर्ण इन्द्रियोंसे संयुक्त होकर यह देहधारी जीव पंचभूतस्वरूप शरीरके आश्रित हो जाता है। ज्ञान और उपासना आदिकी शक्तिके बिना वह केवल कर्मोद्वारा परमात्माको नहीं पाता। अतः वह उस अविनाशी परमेश्वरसे वंचित रह जाता है
sarvair eva indriyaiḥ samprayukto dehaṁ prāptaḥ pañcabhūtāśrayaḥ syāt | nāsāmarthyād gacchati karmaṇeha hīnas tena parameṇāvyayena ||
Bhishma said: When the embodied being is fully furnished with all the senses, it comes to inhabit a body that rests upon the five great elements. Yet, lacking the requisite inner capacity—such as the power born of true knowledge and disciplined worship—it does not reach the Supreme merely through ritual action here. Therefore, it remains deprived of that imperishable Highest Reality.
