In the common Advaita interpretation of the five sheaths, match each description with its name. List I: (a) The food-dependent physical sheath; (b) The sheath of vital functions associated with prana; (c) The mental sheath associated with thoughts and desires; (d) The intellectual sheath associated with discernment; (e) The bliss sheath, which is still distinguished from Atman. List II: (i) Anandamaya; (ii) Manomaya; (iii) Pranamaya; (iv) Annamaya; (v) Vijnanamaya; (vi) The individual Self.
a-iv, b-iii, c-ii, d-v, e-i
The matching is a–iv, b–iii, c–ii, d–v, e–i: food, vital functions, mind, intellect and bliss respectively. These are philosophical sheaths, not anatomical compartments; prana should not be equated directly with the nervous system. In this Advaita interpretation, Atman is beyond the five sheaths.
