Verse 3.9.15

विदेहमुक्तो नोदेति नास्तमेति न शाम्यति ।
न सन्नासन्न दूरस्थो न चाहं न च नेतरः ॥ १५ ॥

videhamukto nodeti nāstameti na śāmyati |
na sannāsanna dūrastho na cāhaṃ na ca netaraḥ || 15 ||

The disembodied free spirit neither rises nor sets (like the sun), nor is it subject to wane (like the moon); it is neither manifest nor hidden; it is not at a distance, nor is it in me, thee or in any other person.
