11.23.50

janas tu hetuḥ sukha-duḥkhayoś cet kim ātmanaś cātra hi bhaumayos tat /
jihvāṃ kvacit sandaśati sva-dadbhis tad-vedanāyāṃ katamāya kupyet //

51. If the body is the cause of pleasure and pain, (even on adopting that position) what has that to do with Atman? That relation belongs to some two bodies, pieces of the same earth. If sometimes any one bites his own lips with his own teeth, with whom should he be angry for the pain?

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
