originate simultaneously. Secondly, the transformable (vaikriyika) body originating through austerities is another form of the projectable (āhāraka) body only, not an independent transformable body. The Doctrine proclaims that only the transformable (vaikriyika) body obtained on the rise of the ‘vaikriyika śarīra' name-karma (nāmakarma) should be known as the transformable (vaikriyika) body. Thus, a single soul can have only four kinds of bodies simultaneously.
Other details pertaining to these are mentioned.
निरुपभोगमन्त्यम् ॥४४॥
[अन्त्यम् ] अन्त का कार्मण शरीर [ निरुपभोगम् ] उपभोग रहित होता
The last (body) is not the means of enjoyment (upabhoga).
That which comes at the end is the last. What is it? The karmic (kārmaņa) body. The receiving of sound, etc., through the channel of the senses is enjoyment (upabhoga). Such enjoyment is not present in the karmic (kārmaņa) body; it is thus without-enjoyment (nirupabhoga). During transit (to take a new birth), there is no perception of sound, etc., as there is presence only of the psychicalsense (bhāvendriya) and not the physical-sense (dravyendriya). Now the luminous (taijasa) body also is devoid of enjoyment. Why, then, is the last alone mentioned in the sūtra? The luminous body is not the cause of activity (yoga) too. Hence the question of enjoyment does not arise in this case.
