Commentary (टीका)
In this verse, the sūkṣma-śarīra or the subtle body is discussed, highlighting its eightfold components—known as puryaṣṭaka. The components begin with the five sensory faculties such as vāg (speech) and śravaṇa (hearing), progress into the pañca prāṇa (five vital airs), and include the pañca-mahābhūta (five great elements) presented in abbreviated form (such as abhra, representing ākāśa or space). Additionally, the subtle body encompasses the buddhi (intellect) and the avidyā (ignorance), together with kāma (desire) and karma (actions). Each of these elements plays a crucial role in the function and experiences of what is considered the subtle body in Vedantic philosophy. The concept acts as a bridge between the physical body and the deeper, non-physical self, contributing to one's personality and experiences.
