The soul, which is called praajnya, arrogates the subtle body and becomes taijasa. When Ishvara arrogates that subtle body, he becomes Hiranyagarbha. The only difference between both of them is that taijasa is the microcosm and that Ishvara is the macrocosm. Beyond this, there is no other difference.
The soul has the adjunct in the form of ignorance in which impure sattva dominates. When that soul says "I am this subtle body", when he considers that body as his own, he is then called taijasa.
Ishvara has the adjunct in the form of maayaa in which pure sattva dominates. When that Ishvara says "I am this subtle body", then he is called Hiranyagarbha. Both taijasa and Hiranyagarbha arrogate the subtle body, but one of them is the microcosm, and the other is the macrocosm. This is what causes the difference.
