sarvam anityam utpattivināśadharmakatvāt ||
[NyS 4.1.25:] Everything is non-eternal, because it has the property of origination and destruction.
368.4
kim anityaṃ nāma? yasya kadācid bhāvas tad anityam/ utpattidharmakam anutpannaṃ nāsti vināśadharmakaṃ ca vinaṣṭaṃ nāsti/ kiṃ punaḥ sarvam? bhautikaṃ ca śarīrādi

368.5
abhautikaṃ ca buddhyādi, tad ubhayam utpattivināśadharmakaṃ vijñāyate, tasmāt tat sarvam anityam iti//25//
and the non-elemental, such as cognition and so on. Both of these are known to have the property of origination and destruction; therefore, all of that is impermanent.
