Synonyms
kva — where is; dehaḥ — this material body; bhautikaḥ — made of five elements; anātmā — not the spirit soul; kva — where is; ca — also; ātmā — the spirit soul; prakṛteḥ — to the material world; paraḥ — transcendental; kasya — of whom; ke — who is; pati — husband; putra-ādyāḥ — or son and so on; mohaḥ — illusion; eva — indeed; hi — certainly; kāraṇam — cause.
Translation
Kaśyapa Muni continued: What is this material body, made of five elements? It is different from the spirit soul. Indeed, the spirit soul is completely different from the material elements from which the body is made. But because of bodily attachment, one is regarded as a husband or son. These illusory relationships are caused by misunderstanding.
