Translation

মন প্রভৃতি, প্রাণ প্রভৃতি, ইচ্ছা প্রভৃতি, সত্ত্ব প্রভৃতি এবং পুণ্য প্রভৃতি—এগুলিই পাঁচটি বর্গ বলে কথিত। এই পাঁচ বর্গের ধর্মী-রূপ আত্মা জ্ঞান ব্যতীত বিনষ্ট হয় না। আত্মার সান্নিধ্যে যে আত্মোপাধি নিত্যরূপে প্রতীয়মান, তাকেই লিঙ্গশরীর এবং হৃদয়গ্রন্থি বলা হয়॥৭॥

Academic Translation

‘Mind and the rest, breath and the rest, desire and the rest, sattva and the rest, merit and the rest’—these are said to be five groups. The Self, as the substratum (dharmin) of these five groups, does not perish apart from knowledge. That adjunct of the Self which, in the proximity of the Self, is apprehended as eternal—this is called the subtle body (liṅga-śarīra), (also) the knot of the heart (hṛd-granthi).

Verse Context

• Liṅga-śarīra (subtle body) and hṛd-granthi; Atman as dharmin (substratum) of mental-vital-ethical functions; jñāna as the means to mokṣa
• Mahavakya: Supports ‘ayam ātmā brahma’ by distinguishing the ever-present Self from its upādhis (subtle-body superimpositions) that seem enduring due to proximity to consciousness.
• Atharva
• Chandas: Prose
