Sanskrit recitationSarvasara Upanishad 7

mana ādiś ca prāṇādiś cecchādiś ca sattvādiś ca puṇyādiś caite pañcavargā iti | eteṣāṃ pañcavargāṇāṃ dharmībhūtātmā jñānād ṛte na vinaśyati | ātmasannidhau nityatvena pratīyamāna ātmopādhir yas tal liṅgaśarīraṃ hṛdgranthiḥ ity ucyate ||7||

„Geist und das Übrige, Prāṇa und das Übrige, Begehren und das Übrige, Sattva und das Übrige, Verdienst und das Übrige“—diese werden als fünf Gruppen bezeichnet. Der Ātman, als Träger (dharmin) dieser fünf Gruppen, geht nicht zugrunde, außer ohne Erkenntnis. Jener Zusatz (Upādhi) des Ātman, der in der Nähe des Ātman als ewig erfahren wird, heißt der feinstoffliche Leib (liṅga-śarīra) und auch der Knoten des Herzens (hṛd-granthi).

‘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).

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