Mahabharata (?) quotation

[Vidyasankar Sundaresan]

I am trying to track down the source of the following quotation
attributed to vyAsa, in zankara's brahmasUtra bhAshya (2. 3. 47).

smaranti ca vyAsAdaya.h ... "tatra ya.h paramAtmA hi sa nityo
nirgu.nas sm.rta.h | na lipyate phalaiz cApi padma-patram-iva
ambhasA | karmAtmA tv aparo yo 'sau moksha-bandhais sa yujyate |
sa sapta-dazakatvena api rAzinA yujyate puna.h ||" iti

I presume these verses are from the Mahabharata, and would
appreciate any help in locating them within the text.

Vidyasankar
