Verse 3.22.19

देहस्त्वयं न म्रियते न च जीवति किंच ते ।
के किल स्वप्नसंकल्पभ्रान्तौ मरणजीविते ॥ १९ ॥

dehastvayaṃ na mriyate na ca jīvati kiṃca te |
ke kila svapnasaṃkalpabhrāntau maraṇajīvite || 19 ||

This body however, neither dies, nor is it alive at any time; for both life and death are mere resemblances of aerial dreams and desires in all respects.
