yānam kṣitau yānagatam ca deham
dehe api ca anyaḥ puruṣaḥ niviṣṭaḥ
mamatvabuddhiḥ na tathā yathā sve
dehe atimātram bata mūḍhatā eṣā
dehe api ca anyaḥ puruṣaḥ niviṣṭaḥ

A vehicle exists on the earth, and within that vehicle is the body. Yet, residing within the body itself is another distinct person (puruṣa). Our sense of possessiveness (mamatvabuddhi) towards the body *in* a vehicle is not as strong as our excessive attachment to what we perceive as our *own* body. Alas, this is indeed a great delusion (mūḍhatā)!
