Sanskrit Text

आहुः षष्टिं भूतगुणान्वै; भूतविशिष्टा नित्यविषक्ताः भूतविषक्ताश्चाक्षरसृष्टाः; पुत्र नित्यं तदिह वदन्ति

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.
