Vedantasara - Verse 89

Sanskrit

एतेषु कोशेषु मध्ये विज्ञानमयो ज्ञानशक्तिमान् कर्तृरूपः । मनोमय इच्छाशक्तिमान् करणरूपः । प्राणमयः क्रियाशक्तिमान् कार्यरूपः । योग्यत्वादेवमेतेषां विभाग इति वर्णयन्ति । एतत्कोशत्रयं मिलितं सत्सूक्ष्मशरीरमित्युच्यते

Swami Nikhilananda's Translation

Among these sheaths, the intelligent sheath (Vijnanamayakosa) which is endowed with the power of knowledge is the agent; the mental sheath (Manomayakosa) which is endowed with will-power is the instrument; and the vital sheath (Pranamayakosa) which is endowed with activity is the product. This division has been made according to their respective functions. These three sheaths together constitute the subtle body.
