Verse 5.59.15

मनोबुद्धीन्द्रियाद्यन्तो भूतकोशश्चलद्वपुः ।
नाहमेवं शरीरादि शिष्टमालोकयाम्यहम् ॥ १५ ॥

manobuddhīndriyādyanto bhūtakośaścaladvapuḥ |
nāhamevaṃ śarīrādi śiṣṭamālokayāmyaham || 15 ||

Thus I am neither the mind nor understanding, nor the internal senses nor the external organs of action. I am not the inward subtile body, nor its outward material and self locomotive form, but am something besides all of these which I want to know.
