it draws the organs (see previous verses) from that<br />

body. In this way, the second quarter of the present<br />

verse is treated first, because going to another body<br />

follows the leaving of the earlier one.-M.S.] Ca api,<br />

and even; yat, when; it avapnoti, assumes a body<br />

other than the earlier one; then, grahitva, taking;<br />

etani, these, the organs with the mind as their sixth;<br />

samyati, he leaves, goes away totally [Samyak,<br />

totally-without returning in any way to the earlier<br />

body.-M.S.] Like what? In reply the Lord says: iva,<br />

as; vayuh, the wind (carries away); gandhan,<br />

odours; asayat, from their receptacles-flowers etc.<br />

Which, again, are those (organs)?<br />

15.9 This one enjoys the objects by presiding over<br />

the ear, eyes, skin and tongue as also the nose and<br />

the mind.<br />
