श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
सर्वेषामेव देहौ द्वौ भूतानां कारणात्मनाम् ।
अजस्य कारणाभावादेक एवातिवाहिकः ॥ ८ ॥

sarveṣāmeva dehau dvau bhūtānāṃ kāraṇātmanām |
ajasya kāraṇābhāvādeka evātivāhikaḥ || 8 ||

Vasishtha replied:—All created beings that are produced of a cause, have two bodies (the sukshma and the sthula or the subtile and the gross). But the unborn being which is without a cause, has one body only.
