Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 7.15.60

dhātavo 'vayavitvāc ca

tan-mātrāvayavair vinā

na syur hy asaty avayaviny

asann avayavo 'ntataḥ

SYNONYMS

dhātavaḥ — the five elements; avayavitvāt — being the cause of the bodily conception; ca — and; tat-mātra — the sense objects (sound, taste, touch, etc.); avayavaiḥ — the subtle parts; vinā — without; na — not; syuḥ — can exist; hi — indeed; asati — unreal; avayavini — in the formation of the body; asan — not existing; avayavaḥ — the part of the body; antataḥ — 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.
