Vivekachudamani - Post 96

 Verse 92


बुद्धीन्द्रियाणि श्रवणं त्वगक्षि
घ्राणं च जिव्हा विषयावबोधनात् ।
वाक्पाणिपादा गुदमप्युपस्थः
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि प्रवणेन कर्मसु ॥ ९२ ॥

buddhīndriyāṇi śravaṇaṃ tvagakṣi
ghrāṇaṃ ca jivhā viṣayāvabodhanāt |
vākpāṇipādā gudamapyupasthaḥ
karmendriyāṇi pravaṇena karmasu || 92 ||

92. The ears, skin, eyes, nose and tongue are organs of knowledge, for they help us to cognise objects; the vocal organs, hands, legs, etc., are organs of action, owing to their tendency to work. 


Verse 93-94


निगद्यतेऽन्तःकरणं मनोधीः
अहंकृतिश्चित्तमिति स्ववृत्तिभिः ।
मनस्तु संकल्पविकल्पनादिभिः
बुद्धिः पदार्थाध्यवसायधर्मतः ॥ ९३ ॥
अत्राभिमानादहमित्यहंकृतिः ।
स्वार्थानुसन्धानगुणेन चित्तम् ॥ ९४ ॥

nigadyate'ntaḥkaraṇaṃ manodhīḥ
ahaṃkṛtiścittamiti svavṛttibhiḥ |
manastu saṃkalpavikalpanādibhiḥ
buddhiḥ padārthādhyavasāyadharmataḥ || 93 ||
atrābhimānādahamityahaṃkṛtiḥ |
svārthānusandhānaguṇena cittam || 94 ||

93-94. The inner organ (Antahkaraṇa) is called Manas, Buddhi, ego or Chitta, according to their respective functions: Manas, from its considering the pros and cons of a thing; Buddhi, from its property of determining the truth of objects; the ego, from its identification with this body as one’s own self; and Chitta, from its function of seeking for pleasurable objects.
