शरीरं त्रिविधं ज्ञेयं स्थूलं सूक्ष्मं च कारणम् । स्थूलं व्यापारदं प्रोक्तं सूक्ष्ममिंद्रि यभोगदम् ६ ।
The body is of three types: the gross, the subtle and the causal. The gross body is responsible for all activities; the subtle body yields the enjoyment of pleasures through the senses.
english translation
कारणं त्वात्मभोगार्थं जीवकर्मानुरूपतः । सुखं दुःखं पुण्यपापैः कर्मभिः फलमश्नुते ७ ।
The causal body is for the sake of experiencing the good and bad results of the activities of the Jiva. The Jīva experiences happiness as a result of virtue and misery as a result of sin.
english translation
तस्माद्धि कर्मरज्ज्वा हि बद्धो जीवः पुनः पुनः । शरीरत्रयकर्मभ्यां चक्रवद्भ्राम्यते सदा ८ ।
The Jīva bound by the rope of activities revolves round and round for ever like a wheel by means of the three types of body and their activities.
english translation
चक्रभ्रमनिवृत्यर्थं चक्रकर्तारमीडयेत् । प्रकृत्यादि महाचक्रं प्रकृतेः परतः शिवः ९ ।
The creator of the wheel must be worshipped for the cessation of the revolution of the wheel. The Prakṛti etc. constitute the great wheel and Śiva is beyond the Prakṛti.
english translation
चक्रकर्ता महेशो हि प्रकृतेः परतोयतः । पिबति वाथ वमति जीवन्बालो जलं यथा 1-18-१० ।
The creator of the wheel is the Lord Śiva. He is beyond the Prakṛti. Just as a boy drinks or spits out water as he pleases so also Śiva keeps Prakṛti etc. just as he pleases.
