'KaaraNa shariram' mentioned in Paingalopanishad

The term 'kaaraNa sharIram' is mentioned along with   एतत्कोशत्रयं
लिङ्गशरीरम्  which is another name for sukhsma shariram.

And sthula shariram:  प्राप्यान्नरसमयपृथिव्यांयद्विलीयते सोऽन्नमयकोशः  ।
तदेव स्थूलशरीरम्  ।

...... ईशाज्ञया मायोपाधिरव्यक्तसमन्वितो  व्यष्टि*कारणशरीरं* प्रविश्य
प्राज्ञत्वमगमत्  ।

Thus the sharira trayam is mentioned in this Upanishad.

// The date or author of *Paingala Upanishad* is unclear, but given its
style and the texts it references, it is likely an early medieval era text
because the 8th-century scholar Adi Shankara
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adi_Shankara> refers to it in his bhasya
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhasya> (review and commentary) on Brahma
Sutras <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brahma_Sutras>.[7]
