The term Sharira can be attributed to the physical body of an individual. However, according to Ayurveda physical body is that component of the life of an individual which is limited to this world i.e mortal. Although Vedas and other shastras identify various aspects of one’s life by the term Sharira, Ayurveda sticks to only the gross Sthula Sharira category amongst Sharira Trayam. Thus, ‘Sharira’ in Ayurveda refers to the material physical mortal body that eats, breathes and moves (acts). Other terms like ‘Deha’, ‘Kaya’, ‘Vapu’ are also used synonymously with ‘Sharira’.
