1.26

ata eva kaṇṭakādijanyaṃ duḥkham eva narakaḥ/ lokasiddho rājā parameśvaraḥ/ dehocchedo mokṣaḥ/ dehātmavāde ca sthūlo ’haṃ kṛśo ’haṃ kṛṣṇo ’ham ityādi sāmānādhikaraṇyopapattiḥ/ mama śarīram iti vyavahāro rāhoḥ śira ityādivad aupacārikaḥ/ tad etat sarvaṃ samagrāhi:

Hence it follows that there is no other hell than mundane pain produced by purely mundane causes, as thorns, &c.; the only Supreme is the earthly monarch whose existence is proved by all the world's eyesight; and the only Liberation is the dissolution of the body. By holding the doctrine that the soul is identical with the body, such phrases as "I am thin," "I am black," &c., are at once intelligible, as the attributes of thinness, &c., and self-consciousness will reside in the same subject [the body]; like and the use of the phrase "my body" is metaphorical "the head of Rāhu" [Rāhu being really all head].
