@sun @lain
it really is such a good answer. i did assume three nested bodies, because kosha theory is quite literally that and the koshas overlap with the bodies. but they are states/modifications of brahman produced by one limiting adjunct (ignorance). at least in advaita vedanta...
most of the sanskrit i understand to my surprise. its a bit funny seeing "smrti" mean memory here. because thats also what hindu scriptures besides the vedas that have a human author are called. but it literally means "what is remembered".
i noticed that in some places primary texts are cited (vedantasara in part 1) but in others they arent. part 3 contained my existing assumption (dormant samskaras are the causal, citta a subtle fructification). but part 2 contains something unique, the claim that samskaras (here defined as individual impressions that cluster together to form tendencies) belong to the subtle body, and vasanas (ingrained patterns here) belong to the causal. where can i find this? whats the primary source?

@sun @lain also can you ask it "is anandamaya the innermost self aka para brahman or is it the causal body. is it a sheath or is it a self." it will probably mostly cite sankaras bhashya on the brahma sutras which im reading, but i want other opinions.
