These organs are atomic in size. Their movement has been stated in the scriptural text, ' All these Pranas (senses) go out, following the Prana (vital breath) when it goes out' (Brh.IV-4-2).

And the best.
By 'the best' we have to understand the Prana (vital wind) with its fivefold function. This also is created. This is mentioned separately again here, so that this may be dealt with in the next Sutra also.

8. Na vayukriye prthagupadesat
Prana is neither the mere wind nor its function ;
on account of its being stated separately.
The prana, that has five functions, is neither mere wind nor its mere functions; because it is taught separately in the scriptural text 'From Him are produced Prana, ether and wind ' (Mund.II-1-3).
