अथवा संनिपातो<यं शरीरं पाञज्चभौतिकम् । एकश्न दश चाष्टौ च गुणा: सह शरीरिणा,अथवा इन सबका समुदाय ही पाञज्चभौतिक शरीर है। एक महत्तत््व और जीवसहित पूर्वोक्त अठारह गुण--ये सभी इस समुदायके अन्तर्गत हैं
athavā sannipāto 'yaṃ śarīraṃ pāñcabhautikam | ekaś ca daśa cāṣṭau ca guṇāḥ saha śarīriṇā ||
阿悉多说:又说,此身乃合和之聚,由五大所成。在此聚合之中,包含一者(大〔Mahat〕)、十者(诸根之能)、八者(微细成分),并与具身之我同在。故所谓“身体”,并非单一独立之实体,而是诸要素汇集之组装;明了此义,便能松脱执著,澄清正见。
असित उवाच
The body is an aggregate of elemental and psychological constituents; recognizing it as a composite (rather than the true self) supports detachment, discrimination, and ethical steadiness.
Asita is explaining a Sāṅkhya-style analysis of the person: the five-element body is a ‘sannipāta’ (assemblage) that includes Mahat, the ten faculties, the eight constituents, and the embodied self as the experiencer.
