शिवज्ञानबोध (मेय्कण्डार - शैव सिद्धान्त का आधारभूत दार्शनिक सूत्र ग्रन्थ)

38 SIVAGNANA BOTHAM.
Seventh Argument.
Churnika.—The soul is different from all the various
tatwas as each is called by a separate name.
Varthikam.—It is established that the soul is different
from the body, as each of the five senses instead of
being called soul receives each a different name.
Illustration.—If the intelligence is the result of the con-
junction of the bodily organs and senses) these, on exami-
nation, resolve themselves into the Tatwas which begin
with Kala and end with earth, and these are products
of Maya which is not permanent (changeable or destruc-
tible.) If, after understanding attentively the nature of
intelligence, this combination is examined, it is simply
the body (Sthula) and (Sukshuma) which is to the soul
what the lamplight is to the eye. Hence the soul or
intelligence is different from the body.
