yathā karmanirapekṣebhyo bhūtebhyo nirvṛttā mūrtayaḥ sikatāśarkarāpāṣāṇagairikāñjanaprabhṛtayaḥ puruṣārthakāritvād upādīyante tathā karmanirapekṣebhyo bhūtebhyaḥ śarīram utpannaṃ puruṣārthakāritvād upādīyate iti//61//

Just as material forms produced from elements independent of karma—such as sand, gravel, stones, red chalk, and collyrium—are acquired because they carry out a person's aims, so too the body produced from elements independent of karma is acquired because it carries out a person's aims. ||61
