श्रोत्रादिधर्मा न तु वेत्तुरात्मनः ॥ ११॥ 101. Blindness, weakness, and sharpness are conditions of the eye, due to its fitness or defectiveness merely; so are deafness and dumbness, etc., of the ear and so forth,—but never of the Atman, the Knower. उच्छासनिःश्वासविजृम्भणक्षु
त्यस्यन्दनाद्युत्क्रमणादिकाः क्रियाः । प्राणादिकर्माणि वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः
प्राणस्य धर्मावशनापिपासे ॥ १०२॥ 102. Inhalation and exhalation, yawning, sneezing, secretion and leaving this body, etc., are called by experts functions of Prâna and the rest, while hunger and thirst are characteristics of Prâna proper. अन्तःकरणमेतेषु चक्षुरादिषु वर्मणि ।
अहमित्यभिमानेन तिष्ठत्याभासतेजसा ॥ १०३॥
