Chapter Two 8 346. To further explain the specific characteristics of these bodies, the following sutra is stated:
The last body is without enjoyment. ||44|| 8347. The last one is called the last. What is it? It is the karmic body. The enjoyment of sounds etc. through the sensory channels is called enjoyment. This is not found in the last body; therefore, it is without enjoyment. Even though there is a movement of the subtle body, there is no enjoyment of sounds etc. because there is no formation of the gross sensory organs. Question: The luminous body is also without enjoyment, so why is it said here that the last body is without enjoyment? Answer: The luminous body is not even a cause in yoga, therefore, it has no authority in the consideration of enjoyment.
What is the harm in believing that? The solution is that the Vaikriya and Aharaka Riddhi do not occur simultaneously, so one cannot have a Vaikriya body along with an Aharaka body. Secondly, the reaction that is obtained from special austerities is related to the Audarika body. It is not appropriate to consider it as an independent Vaikriya body. In the karma literature, the body obtained from the rise of the Vaikriya body karma is counted as the Vaikriya body. Therefore, due to the difference in authority, the Vaikriya body cannot be formed along with the Audarika and Aharaka bodies. This is the reason why a maximum of four bodies have been mentioned.

8347. The last one is called the last. Question: What is the last body? Answer: The karmic body. The enjoyment of sounds etc. through the sensory channels is called enjoyment. This is not found in the last body; therefore, it is without enjoyment. Even though there is a movement of the subtle body, there is no enjoyment of sounds etc. because there is no formation of the gross sensory organs. Question: The luminous body is also without enjoyment, so why is it said here that the last body is without enjoyment? Answer: The luminous body is not even a cause in yoga, therefore, it has no authority in the consideration of enjoyment.
For special purposes, the Audarika, Vaikriya, and Aharaka bodies have sensory organs formed in them, and through them, they enjoy their respective objects. Therefore, these three bodies are considered to be with enjoyment. Although the karmic body yoga occurs only for the Kevalis, at the time of their liberation and the filling of the world, and during the movement of the subtle body, but during the time of liberation and the filling of the world, there is only knowledge, so the question of enjoyment does not arise there. Only during the movement of the subtle body, when the karmic body yoga is present, the question arises whether there is enjoyment or not. And to answer this question, the sutra "Nirupobhogamantyam" has been composed. While explaining why the last body is without enjoyment, it has been stated that during the movement of the subtle body, there are subtle senses but no gross senses, therefore, there is no enjoyment of objects like sounds etc. This is the reason why the last body is called without enjoyment. As for the luminous body, it does not have its own independent authority like the other four bodies. The non-released luminous body is always present in all sentient beings, and the released luminous body is occasional. Thus, the luminous body is found in all sentient beings, but it is not a cause in the self-consciousness, therefore, it is not considered useful in enjoying objects through the senses. This is the reason why the question of whether the luminous body is without enjoyment or with enjoyment does not arise. 1. -No authority. It is said there-Ta., Na.
