UPANISHAD SARA SANGRAH 
Anuvaka 2.2 
From Annamaya to Pranamaya 
The Essence of the Upanishads:

=======================================================================

“Satyam, Jnaanam, Anantam, Brahman” 
Bhashya A: 
“On the Nature of BRAHMAN” 
Coverage:   

=====================================================================================

“PANCHA KOSHA VIVARANAM” 
Bhashya B: 
“The Differentiation of the Five Sheaths” 
Coverage:  From 2.1.4 – 2.6.2 (crosses 5 Anuvakas) 
Mantram- 2.2.3: Changeover: Pranamaya Kosha within Annamaya Kosha 

============================================================================

Mantram- 2.2.3: Changeover: Pranamaya Kosha within Annamaya Kosha: 

8 

tasmaat vai etasmaat = As compared with this sheath  

anna-rasamayaat; =  made of the essence of Food, 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

anyah antarah aatmaa = there is another sheath within it    

praanamayah. =  made of Prana (Air). 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9 

tena esha poornah = By that  (of Air) is this  one (of Food) filled. 

sa vai eshah (earlier), =  It was that (earlier), but is this  (henceforth). 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10 

purusha-vidhah eva; = It is also verily of the human form. 

tasya purusha-vidhataam; = The human form of that  (the Food sheath),  

anu ayam purusha-vidhah. -  continues as the human form of this  (the Air sheath). 

========================================================================


8

 Compared to this current Annamaya Kosha made of Food, there is the next  sheath, 

the Pranamaya Kosha, made of Air, which is within the Annamaya. This next sheath is 

subtler than the former, pervades it entirely, and enlivens it from within. 


9

So far, “this” referred to the current Kosha (Annamaya), and “that” referred to the 

next Kosha (Pranamaya). Thus the line means: The Annamaya is filled and exceeded all 

round by the Pranamaya Kosha.  

Changeover: 

‘Annamaya’ becomes ‘Previous’; ‘Pranamaya’ becomes ‘Current’; 

‘Manomaya’ by implication becomes the ‘Next’. A changeover is denoted.  

10

The Prana sheath takes the same human form as is taken by the Annamaya.

04/06/2019 Tat Tvam Asi – You Are That! – Chandogya Upanishad Uddalaka had a son called Svetaketu. When he was twelve, his father said to him, “It is time for you to find a spiritual teacher. Everyone in this family has studied the holy scriptures and the spiritual way.” So Svetaketu went to a teacher and studied the scriptures for twelve years. He returned home very proud of his intellectual knowledge. His father observed him and said, “My boy, you seem to have a high opinion of yourself; you are proud of your learning. But did you ask your teacher for the spiritual knowledge that enables you to hear the unheard, think the unthought and know the unknown?” “What is that knowledge, Father?” asked Svetaketu. “Just as by knowing a lump of clay, everything that is made of clay can be known, since any differences are only words, and the essential reality is clay. In the same way, by knowing a piece of gold, all that is made of gold can be known, since any differences are only wo
