27. The electric and karmic (bodies) with (the other) three; the electric with the Karmic; the karmic with another karmic; (the bodies) thus combining (we get) four, four, four, two, and one sub-classes (of the 5 bodies). Commentary.
The 15 are these: 1. Physical-physical;
2. Physical-electric; 3. Physical-Karmic. 4. Physical-electric-Karmic. 5. Fluid-fluid; 6. Fluid-electric;
7. Fluid-karmic; 8. Fluid
electric-karmic.
9. Áháraka-áháraka; 10. Áháraka-electric; 11. Áháraka-karmic; 12. Áháraka-electric-karmic.
13. Electric-electric; 14. Electric-karmic. 15. Karmic-karmic.
These 15 are the names of the sub-classes of the body-making Karmas, by the operation of which respectively, a physical body is produced from another physical body; an electric body from a physical body; and so on. These 15 are illustrated as follows:

2. In a saint, in anger or compassion, the electric body which issues from the left or right shoulder is due to the operation of this Karma. Note that although he has got an electric body also, but the electric body which he throws forth from his shoulders is said to be produced by the operation of his physical-electric sub-class of body-making Karma, because the vibratory-activity of the soul which results in the operation of this particular sub-class is produced by the physical body mainly. Thus the Yoga or Vibratory-activity which produces the electric body, being physical, the Karmic sub-class is called physical-electric. Note also that these bodies
