Note 144 — Chapter VII · THE ŚAIVA-DARŚANA.
Edward B. (Edward Byles) Cowell translation
"The soul, when clothed with these primary things (desire, knowledge, action, the kaládipanchaka, &c.), is an exceedingly small body" (Foulkes). One of the three malas is called áṇava, and is described as the source of sin and suffering to souls.
