Section 2 29
स्थूल शरीर तथा उसके घटक | The gross body and its components
Summary (in English)
The sloka elaborates on the composition of the gross body, describing it as a complex structure made up of fundamental elements or "dhātus" such as marrow, bones, fat, flesh, skin, and more. It details the elements collectively, organized into main limbs (aṅga) such as the feet, thighs, chest, arms, back, and head, along with sub-limbs (upāṅga). This depiction assures a deeper comprehension of the body's intricate design, urging an appreciation of its transient nature. Such understanding correlates with Ayurvedic and Vedantic principles, which deem this physical form as ephemeral and a component of larger existential teachings.
