चर्माच्छन्नं स्नायुनिवद्धास्थिपरीतं, क्रव्यव्याप्तं शोणितपूर्ण मलभाण्डम् । मेदोमजामायुवसाढयं कफकीर्ण, को वा प्राज्ञो देहमिमं वेत्ति पवित्रम् ॥४३॥
Meaning :- What appears to us when we minutely look into the interior of this body ? Externally it is covered with skin. Below there are bones -small and big - connected with each other. Below the skin there is flesh. Over it are spread the arterial through which blood is circulated in the whole body which is full of fat, marrow, bile, phlegm, urine, and faeces. What wise man will call such a dirty body, holy and pure ? (43)
