Considering the query of Kashipati Vamaka, Maudgalya Parikshit formulated his answer first. He said “Human being is born of ''Atman'' (spirit) and like that all the diseases are born of ''atman''. The spirit is the source of all things. The ''atman'' acquires the actions and enjoys the merits of action as the fruit of actions. In the absence of this ''atman'', there is no activity either pleasurable or painful. [8-9]
