Cùng với năm tánh vi tế, lại kèm tâm, trí và ngã chấp, jīva—bị trói bởi những thòng lọng dệt từ phước và tội—liền rời bỏ thân xác.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa framing)
Scene: A translucent jīva, encircled by cords labeled puṇya and pāpa, emerges from a fallen body; around it hover symbols of the five tanmātras and the inner instruments (mind, intellect, ego) as subtle luminous forms.
