Since these (seuse-organs and the chief breath), being inanimate, caunot act without being impelled by the conscient (self), the disciple addresses this question to his Guru. This is the meaning. The Teacher replies: SROTRASWA SROTRAM MANASO MANO YAT VACO-HA VĀCAMI SA U PRANISTA IRANAH CAKSUSAŚ CAKSUR ATIDUCYA DIITRĀIC PRLTYASUAL LOKAD AMRTA BHAVANTI I 2 That which is the Ear of the ear, Mind of the mind, Indeed the Speech of the speech, that is the Breath of the breath, the Eye of the eye; on kooting (that) the seers become immortal departing from this world. 1, Tlus avatarika or introduction is for all the verses spoken by the Curu from Kena 1 2 10 Alimāmsgaut era tc' II.
