Significado
The body is protected by walls of skin. The hairs on the body are compared to parks, and the highest parts of the body, like the nose and head, are compared to towers. The wrinkles and depressions on different parts of the body are compared to trenches or canals, the eyes are compared to windows, and the eyelids are compared to protective gates. The three types of metal — gold, silver and iron — represent the three modes of material nature. Gold represents goodness; silver, passion; and iron, ignorance. The body is also sometimes considered to be a bag containing three elements (tri-dhātu): mucus, bile and air (kapha, pitta and vāyu). Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke. According to Bhāgavatam (10.84.13), one who considers this bag of mucus, bile and air to be the self is considered no better than a cow or an ass.
El cuerpo está protegido con murallas de piel. Los cabellos se comparan a parques, y las partes más elevadas del cuerpo, como la nariz y la cabeza, a torres. Los pliegues y depresiones de distintas partes del cuerpo se comparan a canales y zanjas, los ojos a ventanas, y los párpados a puertas de protección. Los tres metales, el oro, la plata y el hierro, representan las tres modalidades de la naturaleza material. El oro representa la bondad, la plata la pasión, y el hierro la ignorancia. Al cuerpo a veces se le considera también una bolsa que contiene tres elementos (tri-dhātu): moco, bilis y aire (kapha, pitta y vāyu). Yasyātma-buddhiḥ kuṇape tri-dhātuke. Según el Bhāgavatam (10.84.13), aquel que considera que esa bolsa de moco, bilis y aire es el ser, no es mejor que un asno o una vaca.
