Sharira is described as having some characteristics or sharira dharmas described in Brahmavaivarta Purana. Maharshi Durvasa's wife being cursed by him turns to ashes from which the individual soul rises up. The Jivatma expresses the sharira dharmas as follows.
सदुक्तिर्वा कटूक्तिर्वा कोपः संताप एव च।। लोभो मोहश्च कामश्च क्षुत्पिपासादिकं च यत् ।।५९।।
स्थौल्यं कार्श्यं च नाशश्च दृश्यादृश्यं समुद्भवम् ।। सर्वं शरीरधर्मं च न जीवस्य न चात्मनः ।।4.24.६०।।
सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति शरीरं त्रिगुणात्मकम् । (Brah. Vaiv. Pura. 4.24.59-61)
Jiva(atma) says - good words, harsh words, anger, repentance, greed, illusion, passion, hunger, thirst, fatness, leanness, destruction, being visible or invisible, and being born are all the characteristics of the sharira, none pertain to the person's gunas or the Atman. Body is of the qualities of sattva, rajas and tamas.<ref>Shanti Lal Nagar. ''Brahmavaivarta Purana, Sanskrit Text with English Translation. (Volumes 1-4), Vol 4.'' New Delhi: Parimal Publications.
