Verse 5.40.11

क्षीयते न क्षयं प्राप्ते वर्धमाने न वर्धते ।
न स्पन्दते स्पन्दमाने देहेऽस्मिन्परमेश्वरः ॥ ११ ॥

kṣīyate na kṣayaṃ prāpte vardhamāne na vardhate |
na spandate spandamāne dehe'sminparameśvaraḥ || 11 ||

The Lord of this body, does not waste by waste of its frame, nor he is strengthened by strength of the body; neither does it move by any bodily movement, nor sleep when the body and its senses are absorbed in sleep.
