the universal gross body of the soul, and because it is subject to change 

 from nutriment, it is called the nutritious case of the soul ; it is called 

 awake, because it is the place in which the gross organisms are en- 

 joyed. 



The soul in which the speciality of this gross organism in its four- 

 fold division is inherent, is called Bishwa, (which enters into all) 

 because, not leaving the subtler body it enters into the gross body. 

 The gross body of the soul as speciality, because it is subject to 

 change from nutriment, is called the nutritious case of the soul, it is 

 called awake, because it is the place in which the gross things are 

 enjoyed. In that state perceive both Biswa and Baishanara (the 

 universal soul and the single soul, in which the gross organism is in- 

 herent) by their five intellectual organs, which are respectively ruled by 

 the quarters of the world, the winds, the sun, Varuna (god of waters) 

 and the Aswis (Gemini) sound, feeling, colour, taste and smell, by their 

 organs of action, which are respectively ruled by the fire, Indra, 

 Upendra, (form of Vishnu) Jama, (death) Prajapati, (Bramha as crea- 

 tor) they possess the power of speech, taking, going, evacuating, 

 generating, and by the internal four organs, understanding, reason, 

 consciousness and thinking, which are respectively ruled by Chandra 

 (moon) Chaturmukha, (the fourfaced, a form of Bramha) Chankara, (a 

 form of Shiva) Achyuta, (Srikrishna) they possess the power of 

 asserting, deciding, consciousness and thinking, that is to say, they 

 possess all the objects of the gross organism. 



" In the state of awaking knows the soul the external objects," says 

 the Sruti. 



In that state there is also no difference between Bishwa and Baisha- 

 nara, in whom the universality and speciality of the gross or- 

 ganism are inherent, as there is none between the sky, which is 

 covered by the forest, and the trees, or between the sky, which is 

 reflected by the sea, and by many waters. Thus is the production of 

 the universe of the gross organism from the five elements, in the 

 combination of five. The universality of the expanses of the gross, 

 subtle and causal bodies is one great expanse, as the universality 

 of inner forests becomes one great forest, or as the universality 

 of inner oceans one great ocean. The soul, in which this is inherent, 

 from Bishva and Baishanara to the Supreme Ruler is one soul, like
