महाभारतः       mahābhārataḥ - book-14, chapter-18, verse-26

इह तत्क्षरमित्युक्तं परं त्वमृतमक्षरम् ।
त्रयाणां मिथुनं सर्वमेकैकस्य पृथक्पृथक् ॥२६॥
26. iha tatkṣaramityuktaṁ paraṁ tvamṛtamakṣaram ,
trayāṇāṁ mithunaṁ sarvamekaikasya pṛthakpṛthak.
26. iha tat kṣaram iti uktam param tu amṛtam akṣaram
trayāṇām mithunam sarvam ekaikasya pṛthak pṛthak
26. iha tat kṣaram iti uktam tu param amṛtam akṣaram (asti)
sarvam trayāṇām mithunam (asti) ekaikasya pṛthak pṛthak
26. Here, that which is mutable is declared to be `kṣaram` (perishable). But the supreme (principle) is indeed immortal and `akṣaram` (imperishable). The entire aggregate of phenomena is a combination of these three, each existing distinctly.
