The fourth and fifth steps: the senses and the body.
Note the key word: ghana-vikalpa — “thickened differentiation”.
Matter here is not a separate element that consciousness met on its way. It is the condensation of the selfsame thought.
This is the chief thought of the whole descent. Between consciousness and body there is no gulf; between them is a difference of density.
The word śanaiḥ — “slowly, gradually”. The mind does not turn into a body at a stroke.
And the last line: the body is named the senses. Not “made of matter”, but precisely that with which one feels.
Hence it is clear why the third chapter picked the body apart so exactingly: it was dissecting not matter, but a clot of differentiations.
