Sūtra translation
The absence (of a body and sense-organs, on the part of the released) Badari (asserts) ; for thus scripture says.
The passage, ‘ By his mere wish the fathers rise,’ shows that the released possesses a mind (internal organ, manas) whereby he wills. A question however arises whether he who knows, after having reached lordly power, possesses a body and senses, or not. Here the teacher Badari is of opinion that the glorified possessor of knowledge is without body and sense-organs.—Why so ?—Because scripture declares this, ‘ With the mind seeing those wishes he rejoices ’ (Kh, Up. VIII, 12, 5). If he rejoiced with the mind, the body, and the senses, scripture would not specially say ‘ with the mind.’ Hence there are neither body nor sense-organs in the state of release.
