This gross body is most unholy, as it is consisted of skin, flesh, blood vessels, fat, marrow and bones, and also it is ever filled with urine and faecal matter.
In order to create the necessary sense of detachment from the body, in order to persuade the mind from all its inborn infatuation of the body, Sankara bring the seeker's scientific attention focussed completely upon his own physical body. Infatuation can arise only through hasty observations, and, through scientific close study, when the nature of the thing becomes fully evident, this infatuation must get lifted. There the right understanding dawns. For this purpose, the human physical body is kept under close scrutiny in this stanza..
The body is itself made up of unholy things, which in themselves cannot engender any fascination to any thinking man. Sometimes it happens that the container may be ugly but the contents can, even then, enrich the container. Even this excuse is not there in our physical body, as a filth-container contains nothing other than gallons of filth. It is this "packet of inauspiciousness that man hugs on, pants to experience peace and happiness through them. When we realize the folly of loving a thing which is so abominable. Our endless attachment and attraction for the body will tend to cease.
