In this foundational class on the causal body (kāraṇa śarīraṁ), Acharya Tadany completed the exposition of the three bodies (śarīra-trayam) by introducing kāraṇa śarīraṁ (verses 108–123) as the unmanifest, beginningless seed condition (avyakta) from which both the gross (sthūla) and subtle (sūkṣma) bodies emerge during creation (sṛṣṭi) and into which they dissolve during cosmic dissolution (pralaya), operating on the principle …
