## Gatha 245-240
**Yoga Marg Sha/317**
The cooperative causes of the body are also called *naokarma*.
**Doubt:** What is meant by *tejas* body?
**Solution:** Due to the presence of *tej* (radiance) and *prabha* (effulgence) qualities, it is called *naijas* body. ||240|| The color of the *padmaragamani* (ruby) in the *sharira skandha* (body aggregate) is called *tej*, and the rays emanating from the body are called *prabha*. The *haya* (subtle body) within this is the *tejas* body.
The *karman* body is formed due to the arising of *namakarma* (name-karma). The *karma skandha* groups like *jnanaabaran* (knowledge-obscuring) etc. are the *karman* body. Without these *karma skandha* groups, the *karman* body of others is not mentioned in the *paramagam* (ultimate scriptures).
The *audarik* (generous) etc. bodies have an infinite number of *vargana* (categories) due to their *samayaprabaddha* (time-bound) nature. ||245|| The *samayaprabaddha* of these *vargana* is an immeasurable number of times greater than the *gadakama* (a unit of measurement). The *tej* body is infinitely greater than the previous one, and it is very subtle. ||246|| The *samayaprabaddha* and *vargana* of these bodies are immeasurable times smaller than the *angul* (finger). The *samayaprabaddha* and *vargana* of the *audarik* etc. bodies are immeasurable times smaller than the *suchyangul* (needle-finger). ||247|| The *samayaprabaddha* and *vargana* of the *audarik* etc. bodies are immeasurable times smaller than the *suchyangul* (needle-finger). ||248||
**Gatha Meaning:** The *vargana* (category) of infinite *paramanu* (atoms) is called *anantaanant* (infinitely infinite). There is one *samayaprabaddha* (time-bound) for these infinite *vargana*. ||245|| The *samayaprabaddha* of the *audarik*, *vanriyak* (materialistic), and *graharak* (receiving) bodies are immeasurable times greater than each other. The *tejas* and *karman* bodies have infinite *samayaprabaddha*. However, all five bodies are progressively subtle. ||246|| The *samayaprabaddha* and *vargana* of these bodies are immeasurable times smaller than the *angul* (finger). The *samayaprabaddha* and *vargana* of the *audarik* etc. bodies are immeasurable times smaller than the *suchyangul* (needle-finger). ||247|| The *samayaprabaddha* and *vargana* of the *audarik* etc. bodies are immeasurable times smaller than the *suchyangul* (needle-finger). ||248||
**Special Meaning:** When atoms of equal qualities are arranged in a row, it forms a *varga* (category). By doing this, we get *varga* (atoms) of infinite qualities from the *abhavya* (non-liberated) and infinite times smaller than the *siddha* (liberated).
