Yeah, some translators seem to find to idea
of entering someone else's physical body so
disgusting or something that they substitute
some euphemism for "shariira" (like "mind" above).
For instance Shankara enters the body of a dead
king and "spends some time" with the king's exquisite
wives, according to (Shankaraacaarya?) VidyaaraNya's hagiography
Shankara-dig-vijaya. Actually, as I recall it, that's such fun that
Shankara forgets it's time to return to his own body,
so his disciples are forced to enter the palace disguised
to remind him of that. :)
