Dhātumaya (धातुमय) refers to “that which consists of the (seven) Dhātus”, according to the Yogabīja (verse 76cd-78ab; Cf verse 51-53).—Accordingly, “The wise [Yogin] burns his body, consisting of the seven Dhātus (saptadhātu-maya), with the fire [stoked by Haṭhayoga]. His diseases and torments such as deprivation and physical harm vanish, and he remains embodied, his form [like] the supreme ether. What more can be said? He does not die”.
