7. The soul, who is attached with various qualities and is
the doer and reaper of the fruits of his own actions, who
attains various forms (bodies) being possessed of three kinds
of
gunas
(natue, good, less good and bad) and, passing through
three kinds of paths, is the master of his
pranas
(life organs)
and roams about (taking several births and suffering pains and
enjoying pleasures or comforts in this world).

8. The individual soul, separate from God and dwelling
in the heart of the size of a thumb, has been called by the
sages (seers) as
angushtmatra,
but by himself he is subtle like
the pointed edge of a needle, effulgent (in the body) like the
sun (in the universe) and associated with intellect, will and
egoism.
