Atma Bodha, Verse 13: The subtle body (sukshma-sharira) consists of five pranas, manas (mind), buddhi (intellect), and ten indriyas (sense organs). Prana manifests as five vital functions (breathing, circulation, digestion, excretion, and final breath), operating at a subtle level beyond sensory perception. The jnana-indriyas are subtle capacities of perception, while karma-indriyas are subtle powers of action. This subtle body is formed from apañcīkṛta bhūta (unmixed subtle elements) before they undergo pañcīkaraṇa (densification process), where each element divides and combines with others to form gross matter. One's subtle body configuration is determined by sanchita-karma.

Atma Bodha, Verse 14: The causal body (karana sharira) is beginningless avidya (ignorance), which acts as an upadhi (limiting adjunct) that veils the true nature of Atma. This ignorance is anadi (beginningless) because it precedes time itself as part of Ishvara's design. Maya operates through two powers: vikshepa-shakti (projecting power) and avarana-shakti (veiling power). The causal body contains accumulated karma (punya/papa) that determines future experiences. Liberation comes through removing avarana-shakti through self-inquiry, not by intellectually claiming to be Awareness while still operating from individual identity.
