SUTRA IV. 2. 10.

नोपमर्देनातः॥४.२.१०॥

nopamardenātaḥ ..4.2.10..

… Na, not. Upamardena, in the way of destruction of bondage. .. Atah, because of this reason.

10. Hence the text of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad should not be taken to teach the destruction of the connection of the physical body — 510.

COMMENTARY

It thus appears that the text of the Brihadaranyaka (IV., 4. 7) cannot teach that sort of immortality which consists in the destruction of connections with a body. It teaches immortality of mental peace, enjoyed by all good men.

SUTRA IV. 2. 11.

तस्यैव चोपपत्तेरूष्मा॥४.२.११॥

tasyaiva copapatterūṣmā ..4.2.11..

… Tasya, of that very (subtle body). … Eva, verily. … Cha, and. … Upapatteh, it being possible, … Ushma, the heat.

11. And to that very subtle body belongs the warmth (which is perceived on touch), because that is reasonable. — 511.

COMMENTARY

The warmth which is observed on touching the gross body, before the man dies, belongs really to the subtle body, and is an attribute of the subtle body, and not of the gross body. Why? Because it is reasonable. So long as the subtle body is in the physical body, we perceive that the latter is hot, but when there takes place the separation of the subtle from the gross, we do not perceive this warmth in the gross body. Therefore, the presence or the absence of the warmth of the gross body, depends on its connection or disconnection with the subtle body. Therefore, it is reasonable, to hold that the warmth belongs to the subtle body, and not to the gross body. The word Cha, in the Sutra, indicates that this is an additional reason for holding that the Vidvan also goes out of the body, at the time of death. Because in the case of the Vidvan also, we find that at the time of death, his body becomes cold, indicating that he also goes out of the body, accompanied by the subtle body.

In the next Sutra the author himself raises a doubt and then answer it.
