Earlier, it was established Jeevatma is shareera or body to Brahman, who the antaryaami aatma of every jeevatma. The pramanas for the concept is being provided.
Antaryaami Brahman is a part of Vedas, which talks exclusively about antaryaamitvam of Bhagwan. It starts with bhagwan being antaryami of Prithvi, jala, agni, vayu, manas, tamas etc and finally tells Brahman as antaryami of jeevatma.
(Kaanva shakha mentions as antaryaami of 'vigyaana'. Some say that there here 'vigyaana' doesn't refer to aatma but buddhi. However, Maadhyaandini shakha clearly says antaryaami of 'aatma'.
Thus, by sarva-shakha-pratyaya-nyaaya; it is established that 'vigyaana' here refers to jeevatma.
The author quotes pramanas from Shruti, Bhagwad Gita, Sri Ramayanam etc.
If it said that jeevatma is said 'shareera' not in mukhya-artha but as gauna-prayoga, our reply is that there is no pramana for that. Gauna artha is to be taken only when mukhya-artha is not possible.
