The five koSAs.. TB-35
प्राणमय: क:?
prANamaya: ka:?
The student asks "What is prANa maya koSa:?" and the guru replies as follows:
प्राणाद्या: पञ्चवायव: वागादीन्द्रियपञ्चकं प्राणमय कोश:|TB-35|
prANAdhyA: pancavAyava: vAgAdhIndhriya pancakam prANamaya koSa: |TB-35|
prANamaya koSa: - The vital air layer is that which combines the following..
prANAdhyA: - prANan etc pancavAyava: - that represents the five vital airs in our body which combines and moves
pancakam - the five karmendhriyAs (organs of action), such as vAgAdhIndhriya - Speech, etc..
A careful observation will show that the organs of knowledge are EXCLUDED from this prANamaya koSAm.. as it is to be explained as a part of the subsequent koSAs..
The five organs of action have been explained already (speech, hands, feet, organs of evacuation, and organ of procreation).. The five vital airs are prANan, apAnan, udhAnan, vyAnan, and samAnan..
prANan is responsible for keeping us alive.. This is the primal air we breath in. apAnan is that clasification of the primal air which takes care of what is thrown out of our body..
udhAnan is that clasification of the primal air which leaves our our body when the body is not capable of sustaining the sUkshma SarIram..
vyAnan is that clasification of the primal air which is responsible for the circulatory system of the body..
samAnan is that clasification of the primal air which is responsible for the digestive system of the body..
Thus the SAsthram divides the prAnamaya koSa as the physical functioning of the human body with the help of five classes of the air we breath in..
And this is not an exact modern science as we know today, but it is an amazing representation of the human boldily functions that requires oxygen at various levels, all the way from the volumetric inhalation to the dissolved oxygen carried to each cell of the body via the red blood cells..
That is exactly the reason why this TB explanation is reasonable, yet we don't check this model against modern science..!!
