Verse 7.161.35

तन्मैवं क्रियतामेतदबन्धस्यैव बन्धनम् ।
कान्यता अमलव्योम्नश्चिन्मयस्य निराकृतेः ॥ ३५ ॥

tanmaivaṃ kriyatāmetadabandhasyaiva bandhanam |
kānyatā amalavyomnaścinmayasya nirākṛteḥ || 35 ||

Therefore do not confine your free and unconfined nature, in the bondage of gross matter; and never change the pure vacuum of your person to a material stuff, nor disfigure your formless and intellectual self in a gross and finite form.
