Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Srimad Bhagavatam 7.15.60

dhatavo 'vayavitvac ca

tan-matravayavair vina

na syur hy asaty avayaviny

asann avayavo 'ntatah

SYNONYMS

dhatavah -- the five elements; avayavitvat -- being the cause of the bodily conception; ca -- and; tat-matra -- the sense objects (sound, taste, touch, etc.); avayavaih -- the subtle parts; vina -- without; na -- not; syuh -- can exist; hi -- indeed; asati -- unreal; avayavini -- in the formation of the body; asan -- not existing; avayavah -- the part of the body; antatah -- at the end.

TRANSLATION

Because the body is formed of the five elements, it cannot exist without the subtle sense objects. Therefore, since the body is false, the sense objects are also naturally false or temporary.
