The System of the Vedanta according to Badarayana's Brahma-Sutras and Cankara's Commentary c8.s4.1

c8.s4.1

In the section 2, 3, 19-32, which we propose to analyse in the present chapter, the question raised by this heading is handled chiefly from the quantitative side, in so far as the enquiry into the size of the soul holds the foremost place. This leads however to discussions which are of considerable help to us in gaining in the sequel a clear idea (so far as this is possible) of the relation of the soul 1) to its organs (*Mukhya prâna*, *Manas*, and *Indriyas*), 2) to the subtle body which consists of the seed of the elements and shares in transmigration, 3) to the gross body which consists of the elements themselves.
