Verse 3.3.7

श्रीराम उवाच ।
आतिवाहिक एकोऽस्ति देहोऽन्यस्त्वाधिभौतिकः ।
सर्वासां भूतजातीनां ब्रह्मणोऽस्त्येक एव किम् ॥ ७ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
ātivāhika eko'sti deho'nyastvādhibhautikaḥ |
sarvāsāṃ bhūtajātīnāṃ brahmaṇo'styeka eva kim || 7 ||

Rama said:—The everlasting body is one thing (called the Sukshma sarira or subtile or immaterial body), and the mortal body is another (called the sthuladeha or the gross and material frame). Now tell me sir, whether all created beings have a subtile body also as that of Brahma?
