शरीरं यदवाप्नोति यच्चाप्युत्क्रामतीश्वरः | गृहीत्वैतानि संयाति वायुर्गन्धानिवाशयात्
śarīraṃ yadavāpnoti yaccāpyutkrāmatīśvaraḥ . gṛhitvaitāni saṃyāti vāyurgandhānivāśayāt
當主宰者 (吉瓦) 捨棄身體,或當他獲得一個身體時,他帶著這些 (感官與心意) 離去,如風將香氣從其源頭帶走一般。
When the master leaves it and even when he assumes a body, he departs taking these, as wind (carries away) odours from their receptacles.
此節經文描述了個體靈魂「吉瓦」(Jiva) 的輪迴過程。當「吉瓦」(Jiva) 離開舊身體或進入新身體時,它會將心意和感官一同帶走,就像風將花朵的香氣從其源頭帶走一樣,象徵著微妙身 (subtle body) 的遷徙。
Here is a description of how the subtle body leaves the gross body.When the Jiva? the Lord of the aggregate of the body and the rest takes up this body he brings in with him the mind and the senses when he leavs the body at its dissolution he takes with him the senses and the mind? just as the wind carries with it the fragrance from the flowers. Wherever he goes and whatever form he assumes he again operates through these senses and the mind.Lord Jiva? the Lord of the aggregate of the body and the rest.The Self appears to be an agent or an enjoyer only when he possesses or assumes a body.
