“The body” — why is it so called? Because here fires are kindled: the fire of knowledge, the fire of sight and the fire of the belly. Of these the belly-fire digests what is eaten, drunk, licked and sucked; the fire of sight makes the seeing of forms; the fire of knowledge finds the deeds good and evil. And they have three places: in the mouth the offering fire, in the belly the householder's fire, in the heart the southern fire. The Ātman is the sacrificer, the mind the brahmā-priest, greed and the rest are the sacrificial beasts, steadfastness is the consecration, and contentment; the knowing senses are the sacrificial vessels, the acting senses the oblations, the head the bowl, the hairs the darbha grass, the mouth the inner altar. The skull is of four parts, there are sixteen rows of side teeth, a hundred and seven vital points, a hundred and eighty joints, a hundred and nine sinews, seven hundred vessels, five hundred parts of marrow, and of bones three hundred and sixty; of hairs three and a half koṭis; the heart is eight palas, the tongue twelve palas, of bile a prastha, of phlegm an āḍhaka, of seed a kuḍava, of fat two prasthas; and of urine and excrement — as much as comes by the measure of food. Such is the Paippalāda science of liberation, such is the Paippalāda science of liberation.
