## Chapter Sixty-Three
**Draupadi and other women, along with Kunti, who followed the Pandavas, had their minds fixed on liberation.** They had renounced their attachment to the world. **Balabhadra, the steadfast upholder of unblemished conduct, and a firm destroyer of the three-fold bonds of body, speech, and mind, was engrossed in contemplating the twelve Anupreksha (contemplations).**
He thought, "Where there is attachment to palaces, body, wealth, worldly pleasures, and relatives, based on the belief that these are permanent, there is no permanence except in the soul. All else is transient."
**Just as a fawn caught in the jaws of a tiger has no refuge, so too, for one afflicted by the pain of death, there is no refuge in relatives, wealth, or anything other than Dharma.** Thus, he contemplated the Anupreksha of being without refuge.
**Beings, driven by the harsh machinery of karma, wander through the cycle of existence, born into various species and families, experiencing the roles of master, servant, father, and son.**
**This soul is born alone and dies alone. There is no other helper except Dharma.** Thus, he contemplated the Anupreksha of oneness.
**I am eternal, and the body is impermanent. I am conscious, and the body is unconscious. If I am different from the body, why should I not be different from other things?**
**This body, whether mine or another's, is born from impure semen and blood, is composed of seven elements, and is afflicted by the three humors (vata, pitta, and kapha). Who is the pure soul that dwells in this impure body?**
