itaś ca na śarīraguṇaś cetanā ---
And for the following reason consciousness is not a quality of the body:

śarīragunavaidharmyāt ||
[NyS 3.2.53] Because of dissimilarity from the qualities of the body.
323.4
dvividhaḥ śarīraguṇaḥ --- apratyakṣaś ca gurutvam, indriyagrāhyaś ca rūpādiḥ, vidhāntaraṃ tu cetanā, nāpratyakṣā saṃvedyatvāt, nendriyagrāhyā manoviṣayatvāt/ tasmād dravyāntaraguṇa iti//53//
A quality of the body is of two kinds: non-perceptible, such as weight; and graspable by a sense organ, such as color and so forth. Consciousness, however, is of a different kind: it is not non-perceptible, because it is experienced; nor is it graspable by a [physical] sense organ, because it is an object of the mind. Therefore, it is a quality of a different substance.
