अथवा सशरीरास्ते गुणा: सर्वे शरीरिणाम्‌ । संश्रितास्तद्‌ वियोगे हि सशरीरा न सन्ति ते,पाँच कर्मेन्द्रियाँ, पाँच ज्ञानेन्द्रियाँ, चित्त, मन, बुद्धि, प्राण तथा सात््विक आदि तीन भाव--ये सत्रह गुण माने गये हैं। इनका अधिष्ठाता देहाभिमानी जीवात्मा अठारहवाँ है, जो इस शरीरके भीतर निवास करता है। उसे सनातन माना गया है। अथवा शरीरसहित वे सभी गुण देहधारियोंके आश्रित रहते हैं। जब जीवका वियोग हो जाता है, तब शरीर और उसमें रहनेवाले वे तत्त्व भी नहीं रह जाते

athavā saśarīrās te guṇāḥ sarve śarīriṇām | saṃśritās tad-viyoge hi saśarīrā na santi te ||

లేదా—ఆ గుణములన్నియు శరీరముతో కూడి దేహధారియైన జీవునిపైనే ఆధారపడివుంటాయి; అతనితో వియోగము కలిగినప్పుడు అవి శరీరముతో కూడి మునుపటివలె ఉండవు.

Educational Q&A

The body and its operative faculties (guṇas in the sense of embodied constituents) are dependent on the presence of the indwelling self; when the self departs, the body and those functions no longer persist. Therefore one should not take the psycho-physical complex as the ultimate self.

Asita is explaining a metaphysical point within the Shānti Parva’s instruction: he argues that the constituents of embodied existence remain only so long as the living self is connected with the body; separation (death) reveals their contingent nature.
