132 RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE JAINAS of nāraka have this body, and not a physical body.
12. Ahāraka sarīra nāma karma gives body that can be sent by the person to a Master. It is only very advanced beings that have this body..
13. Taijasa śarīra nāma karma gives a body which consumes food, and when highly developed and rendered more subtle it can be protruded from the person and consume or burn up other things or persons or bodies.
14. Kārmaņa śarīra nãma karma gives the body which is made up of all the karmas put together. It is changing every moment.
Of these bodies, we all of us here have the physical, the digesting body and the kārmana body. We may or may not have the subtle or vaikriya body, while only the very spiritually advanced have the āhāraka body.
GROUP 4 3. Upānga nāma karmas
15. Audārika upānga nāma karma is that karma on account of which the limbs and organs of the physical body are formed, internal and external organs, arms, legs, ears, lungs, etc.
16. Vaikriya upārga nāma karma would form the limbs and organs of the subtle or vaikriya body.
17. Ahāraka upānga nāma karma produces the limbs of the āhāraka body.
The taijasa and the kārmaņa bodies do not have limbs or organs.
GROUP 5 15. Bandhana nāma karmas
18. Audārika bandhana nāma karma. This karma, when it is working, binds together the different parts of the physical body; it is the assimilation karma; the activity of this karma mixes the foreign matter and makes it one lump, changing its nature.
19. Vaikriya bandhana nāma karma, same as the previous one, only applying to the subtle body instead of the physical
body.
