## Twelfth Body Chapter: Primary
[95] The two bodies, **Ātmā** and **Kāya**, are never liberated until the living being attains **Siddhī** (liberation). These two bodies have been connected with the living being since the beginning of time. Even when the living being transmigrates for rebirth, these two bodies are always present. The other bodies, such as **Audārika**, are formed later.
This chapter then discusses the number and types of bodies possessed by each of the twenty-four **Daṇḍakas**. It further explores the five bodies in relation to the living being, both in their bound state (during the present life) and in their abandoned state (before liberation). The chapter also examines the size of these bodies in terms of **Dravya** (substance), **Kṣetra** (space), and **Kāla** (time).
Subsequently, the chapter discusses the size of the five bodies of **Nairyikas**, **Bhavana-vāsīs**, **Ekaindriyas**, **Vikaleindriyas**, **Tiryac-pañcendriyas**, **Manushyas**, **Vāṇavyantara**, **Jyotiṣka**, and **Vaimānika** Devas, in terms of **Dravya**, **Kṣetra**, and **Kāla**, both in their bound and liberated states. This discussion is highly interesting from the perspective of **Gaṇita-vidyā** (mathematics).
