SŪTRA 9
"THE SUBTLE (BODY FOLLOWS) BECAUSE THUS IT IS KNOWN FROM
PROOF."
Vedānta-pārijāta-saurabha
"The subtle" body of the knower follows, "because thus it is
known from proof", viz. from the text: "To him he should say"
(Kauṣ. 1.5 ¹), " 'The real' ², he should say" (Kauṣ. 1.6 ³).
Vedānta-kaustubha
For this reason too, by the text: "Then a mortal becomes immor-
tal" (Bṛh. 4.4.7), that immortality is referred to which belongs only to
a knower who has his connection with the body unburnt, since "the
subtle" body follows. Why? "Because it is known from proof."
The proof to this effect is the text designating a dialogue between the
knower, going through the path of gods, and the moon, viz. "To him
he should say" (Kauṣ. 1.5), " 'The real', he should say" (Kauṣ. 1.6).
From this proof, the persistence of the subtle body is definitely known.
COMPARISON
Śaṃkara and Bhāskara
Interpretation different, viz. "(The aggregate of fire and other
elements which form the body accompanying the soul is subtle, be-
cause it is known to be thus from proof (viz. from the fact that the
soul goes out through a small opening like the veins)" ⁴
