अस्थिपट्टतुलास्तंभस्नायुबंधेन यंत्रितम् । रक्तमांसमृदालिप्तं विण्मूत्रद्रव्यभाजनम्
asthipaṭṭatulāstaṃbhasnāyubaṃdhena yaṃtritam | raktamāṃsamṛdāliptaṃ viṇmūtradravyabhājanam
Tubuh ini bagaikan suatu alat yang diikat oleh urat-urat; rangkanya laksana papan dan tiang dari tulang, dilumuri tanah liat darah dan daging, serta menjadi wadah bagi zat kotoran dan air seni.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Listener: dvija (addressed)
Scene: A yogin-teacher instructs a brāhmaṇa disciple; the human body is allegorized as a crude wooden-and-bone contraption, smeared with flesh and blood, emphasizing impermanence and impurity.
Seeing the body’s constructed and impure nature supports detachment and a turn toward liberation.
No tīrtha is mentioned; the verse is a contemplative critique of bodily attachment.
None; it functions as a meditation for dispassion (vairāgya).
