English Translation
Bhishma said The understanding is said to possess altogether sixty properties, for the understanding includes the five clements. All those properties exist in the Soul. The Vedas say, O son, that the elements, their properties, are all created by Him who is above all decay. These entities, therefore, are not eternal.
